The Museum of The Black Watch We've been busy up in the Musum Store (aren't we always!) and found this Christmas card that we thought might be of interest.

The differences between the two images are interesting to note: the Castle, the uniforms worn by the soldiers, and the townscape of Edinburgh. The placement of notable buildings and landscape features in the background shows that some artistic licence has been used in the 1848 print.

Hi Simone,
If you can put your request to our Archivist, Tom Smyth: archives@theblackwatch.co.uk. He should be able to help in some way. If he can't help, he can point you in the direction of someone who can!
Here's the link to our research page, that tells you the best places to start looking for info: http://theblackwatch.co.uk/index/regimental-archive-and-research
There is some info we jsut don't hold, and we don't necessarily have info on all soldiers who have served - but it is always worth asking.
Cheers... See More

The Museum of The Black Watch Following an enquiry from a colleague, we thought it might be interesting to feature three eighteenth century powderhorns as our latest Objects of the Month.

www.theblackwatch.co.uk
These three powder horns date from the eighteenth century. They were used during the North American campaigns by members of the Regiment.

The history of the First World War (1914 – 1918) is brought to life by personal reminiscences, film and objects and stand as a testimony to over 8000 Black Watch men who lost their lives. They were truly “the lost generation”.
