Street view of the Black Watch Monument, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. At Aberfeldy, near the bridge that General George Wade built, stands the Black Watch memorial, a stone cairn topped by the imposing figure of a Highland volunteer in Scotland's first Highland regiment. The Black Watch was formed at Aberfeldy in Perthshire in the early eighteenth century as an independent security force, or 'watch', to guard the approaches to the lawless areas of the Scottish Highlands. Instantly recognisable due to the famous red hackle cap badge and the traditional dark blue and green government tartan kilt from which it got its name.
