Old Photograph Black Watch Soldiers Montrose Scotland

Old photograph of Black Watch soldiers from Montrose, Angus, Scotland. 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. The battles which have contributed most to The Black Watch history have been those in which the odds have been most formidable. From Fontenoy to Fallujah with Ticonderoga, Waterloo, Alamein and two World Wars in between the Black Watch has been there when the world’s history has been shaped.
