Local Fact of the Day: where the Black Watch first mustered 🎖️

The Black Watch held its first regimental muster near Aberfeldy, beside the River Tay, in May 1740. The regiment had been authorised in 1739, bringing together the earlier Highland companies and four additional companies. The monument near Wade’s Bridge commemorates that first gathering.
