What is the Black Watch and What is a Royal Stewart
There are "universal" tartans I like but will not get just yet because I don't understand their associations well enough. 2 of these are the Royal Stewart Tartan and the Black Watch Tartan. I am only well learned in the last 100 years or so of Irish history so please forgive my ignorance. I would like to know what the Black Watch is\was and what a Royal Stewart is\was and their historical significance.
Are their origins Scottish or English?
Are they still around?
What do\did they do?
What are they known for?
I would just like to get a basic idea of what these 2 tartans represent since they are so commonly used.
