Brown Watch?

[Mr. MacDougall]

Can anyone tell me the origin of the "Brown Watch" tartan? It seems to be black watch with the blue replaced by brown, but why? Is it indicitive of a different infantry unit?

I believe it's simply a fashion tartan based on the Government Sett.

It's simply a fashion variant of the Black Watch.
