@Sammy1234568910 I meant the personnel attached to regiment are not necessarily Scottish decent ,but of course Canada has a lot of Scotsman and bonnie lasses too

@dave777blaster well I know they are canadian but the riflemen and drummers are in the blackwatch tartan, I wouldn't say zero to do with Scotland, areas of canada like ulster cleary have strong Scot heritage and tradtions hense anglo-scottish regiments. I have noticed difference of tartans between pipers and other soldiers in the british black watch or rather the royal regiment of scotland as it is now called?

Those who say that highlanders are cute and suck come say that to my face and say it to the members of the highlanders

@Sammy1234568910 Because they are not Scottish they are Canadian zero to do with Scotland

my grand fater served in the ppcli for almost 20 years and was a master corporal.

the pipers are wearing the red plume of the Black Watch but can someone tell me why they are wearing what appears to be the Royal Steward Tartan instead of the Black Watch Tartan?
@UpstairsMaid Of course they are real and Canadian society, particularly in Western Canada, shows the imprint of the social virtues that are characteristic of Scottish society. I am an Englishman that was educated in Scotland, the Scots that I met were proud of their Canadian cousins and held them in high regard. We all owe a huge debt to the Canadian Black Watch.
