Sterling Castle question

[worth]

Hi all
Does anyone know if Sterling Castle hold the WW1 records of Scottish soldiers who fought during WW1. I ask because im looking for my great grandfather who was born in Selkirkshire, his daughter seems to think his records would be held there. I cant find his service records on Ancestry but I have his military card from there. He was a Corporal in the Royal Army Service Corps, and also spent some time (according to his daughter) in the Gordon Highlanders and the Blackwatch but she doesn't know when.
Thanks in advance Dawn

I would have thought that here:-

would be the best place to start, but I could be wrong.

Only about a third of original service records have survived over time, principally down to the major fire during WW2 which destroyed so many records in the main archives  Often on A/try you view images where pages are partially destroyed due to fire damage...

Medal card/awards are more easily found (maybe kept in different storage?) than orignal service papers for a soldier.

I don't think Stirling Castle will hold any records. It is the home to the regimental museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders but, according to their web-site, they do not hold service records, even for that specific regiment. Have you tried posting a query on the Armed Forces, World War I board?

Did he also serve post-war? If so then his records may still be with the MOD:
