In the 17th Century, the Black Watch Was a Scottish Regiment

The route e scottish regiment, which has some clan association, is probably what turned into the royal scots. Gordon highlanders and so forth were allegedly recruited. Every recruit was allegedly allowed to take the king's shilling from between the lips of the duchess of gordon. So whether actually did this or not, it was just pan i'm not sure we got the act the evidence. But you see, the connection of allegiance and magnate power of all sorts.
