  • The 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot was a Scottish infantry regiment in the British Army also known as the Black Watch. Originally titled Crawford's Highlanders or the Highland Regiment (mustered 1739) and numbered 43rd in the line, in 1748, on the disbanding of Oglethorpe's Regiment of Foot, they were renumbered 42nd, and in 1751 formally titled the 42nd (Highland) Regiment of Foot.
    The 42nd Regiment was one of the first three Highland Regiments to fight in North America. The unit was honoured with the name Royal Highland Regiment in 1758. Its informal name Black Watch became official in 1861. In 1881, the regiment was amalgamated with 73rd (Perthshire) Regiment of Foot under the Childers Reforms into The Royal Highland Regiment (The Black Watch), being officially redesignated The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) in 1931.
    In 2006, the Black Watch became part of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and are now officially the 3rd Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
    This footage was taken during a series of homecoming parades after a Tour of Duty in The Middle East.
    Dunfermline and then their home city of Perth.

      @timcubison9832 Yes, but the spelling I've used is that preferred by British Army Gurkha regiments for the past 100yrs - as opposed to the spelling used by the Indian Army. BTW, India continues to wrongly claim that the sovereign nation of Nepal (and all Nepalis) are Indian!! Furthermore, the Indian Army apes British Army policy, by only allowing Indian officers to command Gurkha (or "Goorka" - using current Indian Army terminology) formations.

    I am a proud Englishman, but I am sure I read somewhere that they were decommissioning the Black watch ....I remember thinking what a total disgrace it was....one of the most feared and proud fighting regiments of all time.

    I played the Bugle in the Royal green jackets band as a cadet at 15 in 1982 I was a natural at it. I still love military bands now it s some how ingrained in me. I never jouned the regulars I chose to rebel 😢. My grandad was a decorated US soldier and was involved with d day landings. Whilst delivering beer kegs to Aldershot last week my truck got caught up in the Irish guards parade band, Irish wolf hound all in full regalia, it was a joy to be held up for about half hour, so smart and well drilled it made my day!!! ❤

    This is beautiful. To see the men in such order playing the bagpipes and drums. It’s such a display. They’re showing us that they’re here for us and will put the fear of god into our enemies. ❤

    The song is Wha Ha the forty-twa. Respectfully, I have a different origin story. The Black Watch was a group of Scots who patrolled the border between Scotland and England. Their job was to apprehend the reavers, aka rustlers, who were returning from their raids. It was composed of of Frasiers and Lindsays, aka the Frasier/Lindsay company. After the Battle of Culloden, the only way a Scot could carry a weapon was to serve in the British Army. Then it was renamed the Crawford Highlander Regiment. Crawford is a region of Scotland that was ruled by the Earl of Lindsay. In 1751 they were renamed the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment because of their heroic conduct at Fort Ticonderoga, formerly named Fort Carillon by the French.
