Old Photograph Pipers Black Watch Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of Pipers from the Black Watch on a visit to Glasgow, Scotland. When wearing kilts, it is customary for troops to " go regimental " or " military practice ", wearing no underwear. In the 1950s, kilted soldiers on parade would be checked by the sergeant major using a mirror on the end of a stick. In 1997, a Black Watch soldier received wide press exposure, because of windy conditions during a military ceremony in Hong Kong.
