The 42nd became the 1st Battalion, and the 73rd became the 2nd Battalion. As the Black Watch battalion started wearing the tartan back in the 1700’s it means that the Black Watch Tartan Kilt has now been worn by the Scottish soldiers for nearly 300 years! Similarly to the Royal Stewart tartan, Black Watch was originally not to be worn by anyone aside from soldiers but this has changed in more modern times.
