The Black Watch tartan is a more subdued
tartan, designed with camouflage rather than display in mind. It
it thought that it perhaps influenced the later creation of Hunting
Tartans in the late 1800s.
The use of a three colour check, with black separating green and
blue, is unlikely to have been an existing design in 1739 when
it was proposed. It has since been associated with Campbell because
of their role in leading the Black Watch and other Government forces.
