British and Canadian Scottish / Highland regimental badges and tartans.

Updated: Oct 10

Having a Scottish family name and interest one of my areas of interest is collecting and displaying Regimental badges and tartans as used in Commonwealth forces for the last 150 years. I can then also develop additional / duplicate items for sale and trade.



Cameron Highlander Badge on Cameron Tartan. WW1 Black Watch Badge, Black Watch Tartan, Canadian Seaforth Highlander Badge, Stuart Tartan.


So here we deal with the commonly found regiments with badges and tartans - also information on spotting fake /replicas to hone your living history impression or collection.

There are around 3x more, but I keep this list to the most commonly encountered (non South African, Australia or New Zealand)
