Black Watch Sniper
20th August 1955: A lone soldier of the Black Watch Depot, Queens Barracks, Perth, during target practice. 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.

Black Watch Sniper - A Glimpse into Scottish Military History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a lone soldier of the Black Watch Depot, Queens Barracks, Perth during target practice on the 20th of August, 1955. The Black Watch, known as Am Freiceadan Dubh in Gaelic, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1739. The regiment was first mustered in 1740 between the Tay Bridge and Aberfeldy, where a cairn now stands as a testament to their origins. Renowned for being the first regiment to introduce Highland dress as their uniform and proudly wear kilts adorned with the traditional dark tartan pattern, they also earned the privilege of wearing red hackles in their caps for displaying courageous conduct during their service in Flanders back in 1795. In this powerful image captured by Malcolm Dunbar for Picture Post - Famous Scottish Regiments series - we witness an anonymous soldier aiming his weapon with precision while lying down amidst a military camp. His camouflage attire blends seamlessly with his surroundings as he focuses on his target. This photograph not only showcases the dedication and skill of these brave soldiers but also serves as a reminder of Scotland's proud military heritage. It symbolizes resilience, discipline, and unwavering commitment to duty that have defined generations within the armed forces.
