  • Why are they called the 78th when they r wearing gordon tartan!

  • It's the MacKenzie tartan; In 1793 Colonel Francis Humberston MacKenzie, then the head of the Clan MacKenzie, founded the 78th highlander regiment of foot. The kilt is a combination of a Black Watch variant and the MacKenzie tartan. Not the Gordon's :-P

  • Seaforth wore MacKenzie also, as far as i know anyway. Its the kilt my first pipe band in scotland wore, and our badge had Seaforth on it...or it could've been Camerons, im unsure. I think they merged anyway.

  • You are close, the strikes are buff (off white). The regiment was drawn from clan Mackenzie and the tartan resulted from simply adding the white strikes to the already in production black watch tartan. It is very much the same as the Seaforth's, but is some what simplified and darker.

  • hmm, i am scottish, to be honest it looks like black watch with yellow stipes i cud be wrong.

    I am a historian it cud just be the video
