As you can read at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ww2/A2780147
The origin of this regiment was the raising in 1725 of six independent companies of highlanders from clans which had remained loyal to King George I during the Jacobite rebellion of 1715, with the task of keeping peace and order in the highlands. Because of their job of �watching� and the dark colour of the tartan they wore, they became known as The Black Watch.
