Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The tartan for the plaids of the drummers of the 42nd Regiment of Foot (Black Watch). The pattern dates to 1795 records of Wilson & Son of Bannockburn, the main military tartan weaver of the era, but it is unclear if this sett was ever actually used by the unit. The pattern is based on Black Watch with the black over-checks removed, and yellow ones added over green and red ones added over blue and black.

This image is exactly full-sett, and can tile horizontally and vertically. Scottish Register of Tartans notes on this pattern: "Details from a Wilsons’ Mss book in the library of the Museum of Antiquaries, Edinburgh. where it is labelled 'Drummers' Plaid, 42nd - for the 17 reed'."

This is a usual, mirroring tartan. SRT Thread count (with non-standard colours normalised to standard tartan hues), in "/" notation: /B24 K4 R4 K4 R4 K24 G22 Y4 G22 K24 B22 K4 R4/ or in boldfacing notation: B24 K4 R4 K4 R4 K24 G22 Y4 G22 K24 B22 K4 R4
