My first kilt was/is Black Watch.
I like it, I respect the regiment, espicially the original Ladies From Hell who charged out of the trenches in WWI wearing said kilt.

Robert, I know that some individuals erroneously think the Watch (then known as the 43rd RoF) had something to do with Culloden, and thus dislike the tartan. In fact the Watch was not brought back from the continent until November 1745, and were then stationed in Kent in case France's Marshal Saxe & his 12, 000 men actually made their threatened invasion.
(Another train of thought as to why the Watch was kept away from the Jacobite rebellion was that as many as 300 of the privates had close relatives /or friends within the Jacobite forces.)

Some individuals tend to confuse the Black Watch with the Argyll Militia, which was at Culloden.

Even though the Modern (or Green) Mackay tartan is not based upon the Black Watch per say, there are many within the US branch who will not wear it because to them it resembles the Black Watch tartan, all part of this Culloden train of thought, which is ironic when in fact the Mackays supported the Crown & had two independent companies that were active in the north, one of which stopped supplies & money from reaching Prince Charlie's forces in March 1746
