Royal Stewart Tartan


The pipers of the Royal Scots wore their kilts and plaid in this tartan before 1892. In that year they adopted the Hunting Stewart sett while the rest of the regiment wore trews in government tartan (Black Watch). But in 1933 the pipers were granted the Royal Stewart tartan once more.
