The dirk is a traditional Scottish dagger with a single-edged blade, typically worn by officers in the Highland regiments. The dirk was not just a decorative item but also had practical uses. It was worn on the right side of the officer's waist belt, and its design often included intricate craftsmanship, such as ornamental fittings and engravings. The dirk was a symbol of Scottish heritage and military pride, reflecting the traditional martial culture of the Highland regiments. In addition to the dirk, officers of the Black Watch would have worn other elements of Highland dress, such as the kilt, sporran, and other accoutrements that distinguished them as part of this renowned regiment. These uniforms and accessories not only served practical purposes but also conveyed a strong sense of identity and tradition among the soldiers and officers of The Black Watch.
