The Black Watch tartan has a rich heritage that dates back to its association with the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment, known as The Black Watch, which was established in 1729. Originally formed to maintain peace in the Highlands, it gained a reputation as one of the most prestigious Highland regiments. The tartan itself is believed to have ties with multiple clans, including the Munro and Campbell clans, showcasing the interconnectedness of Scottish culture. The 1819 Key Pattern Book by William Wilson Sons, a key supplier of military tartans, highlights the significance of this pattern, which has adorned generations of warriors and formal occasions alike.
