Army Exercises
20th August 1955: Soldiers of the Black Watch going through their exercises at the Black Watch Depot, Queens Barracks, Perth. The Black Watch, Am Freiceadan Dubh in Gaelic, was founded in 1739 and a cairn marks the spot between the Tay Bridge and Aberfeldy where the regiment was first mustered in 1740. It was the first regiment to introduce Highland dress as a uniform and wear kilts in the traditional dark tartan. They also earned the right to wear red hackles in their regimental caps for courageous conduct in Flanders in 1795.

Soldiers of the Black Watch Engaging in Army Exercises at Queens Barracks, Perth (20th August 1955)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from the historic Black Watch regiment's training exercises. Standing tall and proud, soldiers of the renowned Scottish regiment can be seen going through their rigorous drills at the Black Watch Depot in Queens Barracks, Perth. Founded in 1739, this legendary regiment holds a significant place in military history. The cairn between Tay Bridge and Aberfeldy marks where they were first mustered back in 1740. Notably, they were pioneers in introducing Highland dress as their uniform, proudly donning kilts made from traditional dark tartan. The soldiers depicted here earned the esteemed privilege to wear red hackles on their regimental caps due to their courageous conduct during battles fought in Flanders back in 1795. Their unwavering dedication to duty is evident as they stand united and ready for any challenge that may come their way. Photographed by Malcolm Dunbar for Picture Post magazine's famous Scottish Regiments series published in 1955, this archival piece beautifully encapsulates both strength and tradition within Scotland's military heritage. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this stunning portrait formation of brave men stretching across a field serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit that has defined the Black Watch battalion throughout its illustrious existence.
