A few years ago my mum and dad were invited to a wedding and dad wanted to wear highland dress, but couldn't find one in Forbes tartan so wore Black Watch instead. First time we'd seen him in the kilt and he looked AMAZING! Thanks Black Watch for coming to the rescue. Sadly my mum passed away two weeks after and dad passed away five years ago. I miss them both and thank them for instilling in me the pride of being a Scot. Hope to be back home in Aberdeen before too long. xxxxx♥️♥️♥️

Well you may see some changes in Aberdeen! Union terrace gardens is getting a make over, however no one knows when it will be finished! Depending when you were last in Aberdeen, Marischal College and the church at the end is all cleaned now and looking amazing. Hope you get home soon, fae an Ellon loon!

Many tartans are more universal than some people think. Black Watch is okay whether you served or not. Even over on our side of the pond, the General MacArthur museum sells a bit of MacArthur tartan. Though I doubt ol' Doug personally ever sported the plaid.

They fought at the first Battle of Carillion (Fort Ticonderoga) in 1758 during the French and Indian War, refusing to retreat and suffering many casualties in what was a devastating loss for the British. There is a cairn dedicated to them on the French Lines at Fort Ti. Our public Library in Ticonderoga is called the Black Watch Memorial Library

Fun fact about the nickname The Germans never called them "Ladies from hell" the Germans usually called them as well as the canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders that spoke english Englanders. Just like the devil dogs this nickname was probably given to them by the other Allied forces.

The Black Watch are not carrying any weapons in this video, The Black Watch, (correct name, 3 SCOTS, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland) provide the band. The other soldiers are members of 5 SCOTS, Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, RRos. Balaklava are the ceremonial unit of the RRoS and provide the Royal Guard. As they do not have a band, the remaining Battalion Pipe Bands take it in turn to represent the regiment at Balmoral.
