Summary
[edit]DescriptionBlack Watch Memorial on the Mound, Edinburgh.jpg |
English: An 11-foot high bronze statue of a Black Watch soldier by William Birnie Rhind commemorates over 200 members of the Regiment who were killed or wounded in the South African War of 1900-02. The Black Watch, the oldest Highland Regiment, was formed by General Wade in 1739 to police the Highlands at a time when many of the clans harboured pro-Jacobite sympathies. Their name derived from the contrast of their dark green tartan against the regular red tunics of the British Army. The unveiling ceremony for the memorial, planned for 25th May, 1910, was cancelled because the nation was still in official mourning after the death of King Edward VII. |
