Answers

The Kit Shop prices are in Canadian dollars. The on-line Kit Shop is hosted through a third-party shop which allows credit card transactions and ships virtually world-wide.

We receive numerous requests for personnel records every week. The research on these requests is done on a volunteer basis. Our archives are not publicly funded, and we must rely on donations to provide this service; therefore we ask for your help in keeping the archives accessible. As such, e-mail requests are no longer accepted. For more information, please visit the following web page: http://www.blackwatchcanada.com/en/archives.htm#records

You can keep abreast of public appearances on the Events page.

Visit the Association pages, found in the Associations menu above. There are several branches across Canada to choose from.

The best way is to leave your search request at the Friends forum at the Regimental Meet & Greet.

Send an e-mail to Info, indicating your requirements and questions. It will be forwarded to the Messing Officer.

The Loch Ness monster is NOT a legend.

Our motto is NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT. It means "No one provokes me with impunity" styled after the thistle which can sting if disturbed.
