[5][6][7][a] Following the defence cuts implemented in 1967,[10] the TA was reorganised as the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve (TAVR) and 324 Regiment in Gosforth was reduced to a single battery viz.

In 1974, the battery took on its Tyneside Scottish designation, recalling the Pals battalion which had served in the First World War.

[12][13] Since then, the battery has maintained its Tyneside Scottish traditions by wearing the tam o'shanter headdress with a red hackle as part of its uniform.

[14][15] The battery converted to the 105mm Light Gun in 1980, shortly before it moved to the drill hall in Church Street in Walker in 1981.

[16] After briefly converting to the FH-70 Howitzer in 1993, and then moving to the Army Reserve Centre on Beaminster Way East in Kingston Park in 1994, the battery took on a support role providing elements to HQ 1 Artillery Brigade in 1998 and then converted to a surveillance and target acquisition role in 2004.
