A few years ago my mum and dad were invited to a wedding and dad wanted to wear highland dress, but couldn't find one in Forbes tartan so wore Black Watch instead. First time we'd seen him in the kilt and he looked AMAZING! Thanks Black Watch for coming to the rescue. Sadly my mum passed away two weeks after and dad passed away five years ago. I miss them both and thank them for instilling in me the pride of being a Scot. Hope to be back home in Aberdeen before too long. xxxxx♥️♥️♥️

Well you may see some changes in Aberdeen! Union terrace gardens is getting a make over, however no one knows when it will be finished! Depending when you were last in Aberdeen, Marischal College and the church at the end is all cleaned now and looking amazing. Hope you get home soon, fae an Ellon loon!

Many tartans are more universal than some people think. Black Watch is okay whether you served or not. Even over on our side of the pond, the General MacArthur museum sells a bit of MacArthur tartan. Though I doubt ol' Doug personally ever sported the plaid.

My grandad served with the Royal marines commando in the Burma theatre. He was absolutely hooked on Scotland from his time at achnacarry. I think he considered himself an adopted son of Scotland. He was A lovely man my grandad.

I’m English but I’m proud to sharing a country with the Scot’s , we certainly would not have won the 1st and 2nd war without them Scotland the brave !!!

They fought at the first Battle of Carillion (Fort Ticonderoga) in 1758 during the French and Indian War, refusing to retreat and suffering many casualties in what was a devastating loss for the British. There is a cairn dedicated to them on the French Lines at Fort Ti. Our public Library in Ticonderoga is called the Black Watch Memorial Library

They were referred to by adversaries as 'yhe ladies from hell'. That is ladies as in girls❤️

The toughest guys ever to grace the kilt

You are bogged down, running out of ammo and out numbered. Then in the distance you hear the sound of the pipes approaching. What a sweet sound that would be.

Im American born, but my mother, who's parents were from Dundee, raised me to be Very proud of my Scottish heritage. The sound of the pipes is emotional for me. My mom took me to the games from when I was very young. I love this, and that at her age, her majesty is still quite Independent

Combination of pipes, drums and uniforms is brilliant.

I saw the Black Watch here in Richmond, Va,Thanksgiving Day,in 1970,and fell in love with them. I have been a fan ever since.

GOREGEOUS SIGHT!! ABSOLUTE RESPECT TO YOU ALL!! 👏👏👍👍👋🙏🇬🇷

My family members on my grandpas sides were in the black watch. Long live SCOTLAND

Wow! Those uniforms are the best. So proud of our armed forces.

Love the unison and tap sound on the shoes, and even the pony looked ready and at attention, lol. Beautiful.

Wonderfully inspiring and heart warming!!! I LOVE the adorable mascot!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fun fact about the nickname The Germans never called them "Ladies from hell" the Germans usually called them as well as the canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders that spoke english Englanders. Just like the devil dogs this nickname was probably given to them by the other Allied forces.

That corporal 2nd from left after dressing is one one hell of a big bloke! Wouldn't be arguing with him😂

The drum major looks formidable. Can understand where the Scottish forces arrived at their reputation as the fiercest fighters.

My blood boils, a chill runs up my spine, and I can't catch my breath!

I was there when the Blackwatch was up there working for the Queen my son was in the blackwatch xx

I could watch this, and all other similar videos, call day long... they're just wonderful. Don't we Brits put on the best ceremonial show ever. And we shoukd remember all these serving personnel are our protectors when needed. E❤

Makes your British heart swell with pride, thank you Jocks. Do we really want self seeking politicians to deprive us of this?

Fantastic just look at them 😍

Something to be so proud of!

The US Army can have their silent drill teams, but this is professional soldiery at its finest. Plus I also have a soft spot for The Black watch (3 Scots).

No toy soldiers there. Some seriously big units on parade. Love Cruachan!

I love this music and the Ceremonial!

Love the British Garde and of course the Bagpipes 🎼🥁💂

Toll so ein Aufmarsch für die Königin, ich habe immer Achtung für so ein militärischer Auftritt. So lange wie es im Frieden ist, es braucht keiner mehr ein Krieg. Gott schütze die Jungs und Mädchen, die heute Soldat sind. Egal welches Land und Nation. Es sind alle gleich Und haben alle eine Mutter und Vater.

A former Comrade of mine from the Royal Canadian Legion served in the Black Watch. The Tartan is derived from the original clan Campbell Tartan. My great-great-grandfather was a Campbell.

So proud goose bumps.

The Black Watch are not carrying any weapons in this video, The Black Watch, (correct name, 3 SCOTS, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland) provide the band. The other soldiers are members of 5 SCOTS, Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, RRos. Balaklava are the ceremonial unit of the RRoS and provide the Royal Guard. As they do not have a band, the remaining Battalion Pipe Bands take it in turn to represent the regiment at Balmoral.
