Interesting facts about the Blackwatch tartan: around 1725, during the reign of King George I, a patrol ("watch") made up of six clans was recruited in the Scottish Highlands. This patrol was given the tartan known today as Black Watch, so that they could be easily recognised. The uniform consisted of a 12-yard length of cloth wrapped around the waist, completed with a bright red jacket and the bonnet.

The Black Watch regiment played a role far beyond the Scottish Highlands. It became a permanent part of the British Army and was regularly deployed until 2007.
