FROM THE ICY GLEN THRUGH THE HIGHLAND MIST THE PIIPES AND DRUMS MARCH TO BATTLE FOR FREEDOM OF BROTHER MEN LET NO MAN OR POWER STAND BEFORE THEM TO GLORY THE FALLEN LEST NO FORGET THEM.AMEN BROTHER SALUTE.MY HIGHLAND MEN...
@fenbogle We are proud of all you guys and what you have done, your connections with us in Highland Perthshire - it was a very special day when we could come out and say thanks!! God bless you all!!
God bless the Regiment. I am an American, and when I see troops straight from the front march in such precision, I am in awe. Peace be to all people, but you are doubly-fucked if you fuck with the Black Watch.
The statue is to commemorate the founding of the Black Watch at Aberfeldy, the first soldiers were recruited in about 1735 or so. They were raised by the British Government to to help control the Highland Clans. My understanding is they were called black watch as their tartan was dark and 'Watch' as they were watching the Highlands of Scotland for the government.
@Eigenteeld I have the idea that this wouldn't even be practice for the Black Watch. Nothing against the dutch commandos, but these guys are disciplined as hell!
Black Watch and their heroic battles in the Fort Ticonderoga, Quatre-Bras, Alma, Tel-El-Kebir are all legendary and I respect that. They are no longer a full regiment but a mere battalion now, but still, their legacies will live on further on.
However, I am appalled by the blatant display of racism and prejudice down in the comment section. Do you lots know that Britain is gaining a bad name for many citizens being a racist? I thought the legacy of the BE was tolerance and understandings?
I'm from the US, but I know goddamn regimental PRIDE when I see it. Just look at it. Look at it. Intensely impressive and moving. Some long dormant Scottish pride welled to the surface watching this, along with a tear. God bless you, lads.
@11iain well not alot of my fellow americans will say it but we really do appreciate all the support we get to wipe out those terrorist bastards, the more of them dead the better
@11iain thats the way i see it to man, i understand whats really at stake unfortuantly a surprising amount of my fellow americans dont seem to see it like i do way i see it is if your muslim and you hate america get the fuck out and go somewhere where muslims rule glad to see atleast 1 person gets it
THEN THE GURKAHS AMBUSH AND KILL EVERYTHINGS :P
