In the wake of the Jacobite Rebellions, companies of trustworthy
Highlanders were raised from royal clans to protect the populace,
deter cattle stealing and guard against any possible Jacobite
incursion. Soon after its formation, the companies organized into a
regiment of foot known famously as the "Black Watch," the name
thought to derive from their dark-coloured tartans and their role
to "watch" the Highlands. This book explores the uniforms,
equipment and history of the Black Watch, from their involvement in
the battles of Fontenoy and Ticonderoga in the mid-18th century,
through to the Korean War of the 1950s.
