In 1725, following the Jacobite rebellion of 1715, General George Wade was authorised by King George I to form six " watch " companies to patrol the Highlands of Scotland, three from Clan Campbell, one from Clan Fraser of Lovat, one from Clan Munro and one from Clan Grant. These were to be " employed in disarming the Highlanders, preventing depredations, bringing criminals to justice, and hindering rebels and attainted persons from inhabiting that part of the kingdom. The force was known in Gaelic as Am Freiceadan Dubh, " the dark " or " black watch. " The Great Highland bagpipe, Scottish Gaelic: a' phìob mhòr, meaning " the great pipe " is a type of bagpipe native to Scotland. It has acquired widespread recognition through its usage in the British military and in pipe bands throughout the world. There are many ancient legends and stories about bagpipes which were passed down through minstrels and oral tradition, whose origins are now lost. However evidence for Scottish bagpipes is more definite in 1396, when records of the Battle of the North Inch in Perth, Perthshire, mentions war pipes being carried into battle.
