Is Black Watch a "Generic" Tartan?

[MacConnachie]

Thanks, Todd.

I see clearly that the information I had on how the Black and Tans were originally formed was in error. The stories stated that there was a large criminal element within some of the groups, and that there were Black and Tans recruits from England and Scotland in the main.

I had never seen a picture or other representation of a Black and Tan in a kilt, so, as I earlier indicated my information was limited. I just did not comprehend how limited, and how erroneous, it was.

So, having discussed what these different groups and regiments were NOT, do you have historical information as to activities of the Royal Highland Regiment which may have directly affected the Irish? Which elements of the Regiment were posted in Ireland at various points in time? Was the recruitment of Irish boys into the Black Watch (and other regiments) by the "much beloved" recruiting sergeants (is there a sarcasm smiley?) a contributing factor in the intense dislike some Irish have for the Black Watch?

Thanks, again, for setting me straight.
