Freedom of Perth March 2024 | The Black Watch (2-SCOTS P&D) Association Reunion | Scotland

At 12:15 PM on the 22nd June 2024, the public was invited to show their support at the Freedom of Perth march from St John's Kirk to St Ninians Cathedral.
Today was the Iraq Commemoration and Black Watch Association Reunion in Perth, Scotland. All Black Watch and their families were invited in honouring the courage and sacrifice of the men who served in the last operational deployments of 1 BW in 2003 and 2004.
Thank you for your service! 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
THE BLACK WATCH:
The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) Association was founded in 1873. It was reshaped in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War when the founding fathers established an organisation to help the thousands of men who had served in that conflict. It has stood the test of time by supporting soldiers and their families as they face the unique challenges of their Army service. Since 2022 the Association has become part of The Black Watch Regimental Trust a registered charity in Scotland (No. SC005848) which adopted the charitable aims of welfare, comradeship and memorial from the Association.
The Association is based at Balhousie Castle in Perth, which is the spiritual home of The Black Watch. We continue to encourage comradeship and support those who have served in the Regiment and their dependants. We can assist veterans who are in need through their age, physical or mental health, disability, financial hardship or during other challenging circumstances. The charity has an extensive network of Branches and volunteers across the UK who plan and run events which help to initiate and maintain links with old comrades.

I attended Sandhurst in January 1983. One of the Pl Sgt's was a C/Sgt Cotton of the Black Watch. His leadership got me through my course!! Any of the Black Watch 'old and bold' know him? Dont give away any personal details. Just a general reply. Many thanks.

Looks like the pipe section has been taken over by the Gurkhas !

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Sry...this is not the 2Scots Pipes &Drums.

[@scottishjourneys]

3-SCOTS were away on leave, that’s why it was 2-SCOTS 🙂

[@blackwatchberlin]

Doesn't 2 Scots wear diced glengarries?

[@blackwatchberlin]

Apologies, RHF wear the Same blue glengarries in the P&D's as Black Watch. Should have known this. Asked somebody WHO should know and He confirmed 2 Scots, forgive me for being wrong this time.

[@blackwatchberlin]
