The Black Watch Castle & Museum is one of Perth's top visitor attractions. Explore the history of Scotland’s oldest Highland regiment with a Guided Tour of the Museum where you can see uniforms, fine paintings, medals, photographs, diaries, weapons and military equipment, together with film and reminiscences which bring to life the proud military heritage of this family regiment. The collection contains significant items that have been gathered by the Regiment throughout its history, right up to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Your Museum Tour begins with an introductory film, introducing the visitor to The Black Watch and some of its key icons, the Red Hackle, the Title, the Tartan, and the Badge. It continues with the history of the regiment in seven chronological Galleries for different historical periods.
After your visit to the Regimental Museum visit their Copper Beech Café and the Museum Shop for delicious delights and that wee memento.
