Regimental Tartans The survival of tartan in the 18th century was due in great part to its adoption by the newly raised Highland Regiments of the British Army - an adoption which paved the way for today's unique clan tartans. Here, past Tartans Authority Governor, Colin Hutcheson lists British Empire and Commonwealth Tartans by Regiment and then discusses many of them in more detail.

The Pipe Bands of Trinity College, Glenalmond, Scotland. 4th S.A. Infantry (South African Scottish) Scottish Horse, Pipers Black Watch - also known as the Universal or Government tartan. Whilst being worn by the 42nd Black Watch Regiment (The Royal Highland Regiment), since 1739 this tartan has formed the basis upon which many other Regiment's tartans were designed, most notably Gordon (Gordon Highlanders), MacKenzie (Seaforth Highlanders and the Highland Light Infantry), Sutherland (Princess Louise's Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders). The belief that the Black Watch tartan was based on the Campbell Tartan is disputed by several experts. (The Black Watch Pipers wear the Stewart Royal Tartan). The "Watches" were a system of policing to prevent cattle lifting and the Black Watch tartan was eminently suitable in this role. Also worn by: The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) until 1901 when they adopted the Hunting Stewart. The Glasgow Highlanders (HLI). The Gordon Highlanders (75th & 92nd Foot), wore the Black Watch tartan prior to 1778 after which a yellow line was added. The 91st Argyllshire Highlanders, raised in 1794. The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (the tartan was referred to as the Sutherland tartan but was the Black Watch in a slightly lighter shade) Breadalbane Fencibles 1793 wore the Black Watch at first but later added two yellow lines. It became called the Campbell of Breadalbane New South Wales Scottish (Australia) Royal New South Wales Regiment (Australia) Dunedin Highland Rifle Volunteers (New Zealand) Wellington Highlanders (New Zealand) Auckland Highland Rifle Volunteers (New Zealand) 1st Armoured Car Regiment (New Zealand Scottish) Royal Durban Light Infantry (South Africa) Black Watch (The Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada Baluch Regiment Tartan - Baluch Regiment Pakistan Buccleuch - Pipers of the King's Own Scottish Borderers TA.

Cameron of Erracht - Worn by the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders (79th Cameron Highlanders). When asked if the Regiment would adopt the tartan of the 42nd Black Watch the reply was an emphatic "No" and the Cameron of Erracht tartan in fact, owes its origins to the MacDonald tartan. After the Seaforth and the Cameron Highlanders were amalgamated to form the QOCH, further amalgamation took place with the Gordon Highlanders to form the "Highlanders" in 1994. Also worn by: The Pipe Band of Merchiston Castle School, Edinburgh, Scotland. Prince Alfred's Guard 1874 (South Africa) 79th New York Highland Regiment (Formed 1859) The amalgamation of the Seaforths and the Cameron Highlanders in 1960 when they became the Queens Own Highlanders caused much heartache over their tartan but a decision was taken to allow them to wear a MacKenzie kilt and Cameron Trews.
