I had a relative in the Black Watch, who was killed in Crete. This unit will always hold a special place in my heart.

When I was 13 years old, I wrote to the commanding officer of the Black Watch and requested if I could join. First he said I was too young, and they only took the men from Scotland. But he sent me that small book, but I still have a short history of the BW that he sent to me. I am almost 70 and just did time in the US Marines. I do have the blood of Scotland running through my veins, but not enough

As a BW veteran, it is good to see videos of the regiment. Looking forward to part two!

Wow a proper history lesson, which I will share with all of my mates in The Canadian BW. We need to understand the history of our Scottish counterparts and how it relates to RHC. Thank you for making this.

Can’t wait to see the next 2 parts and more
Hopefully after part 3 it will be the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders

I really want to learn more about the 1700's and 1800's Black Watch.
My great grandfather James Campbell (1821-1897) passed down that our family had served in the early Black Watch.
Even as a child I was enthralled with my Campbell family history, especially their service in the Black Watch. I was taught about the Black Watch tartan at a young age.
Black Watch history is very interesting indeed!
Thank you for this 3 part video!
I am so surprised that there are not more comments or thumbs up.
These videos deserve so much more interest and gratitude!
But, thank you very much for these videos!!!!

All of my uncle's on my mother's side served with the Black Watch in WW 2 only 1 was KIA in Italy days before they surrendered. I was attached to the BW as a medic, the best attachment I ever had.

My Dad was in the Black Watch 1944 onwards....it made him the great Man he was in my opinion....He was very proud of it...was from Maryport in Cumberland.

I used to know Mike Riddell-Webster who became commanding officer of 1st Battalion the Black Watch in December 2000. He was also Governor of Edinburgh Castle from 2015 to 2019.
