EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative group photograph, members of The Black Watch, a prominent Scottish regiment, are seen assembled at the Drill Shed in Dundee, Scotland, in 1911. The ominous atmosphere is palpable as the men, clad in their distinctive uniforms complete with bearskin hats, stand at the ready, their faces set with determination and focus. The presence of The Black Watch in Dundee was a response to escalating civil unrest and rioting in the city. Tensions had been simmering for some time, and the situation had reached a boiling point, necessitating the deployment of a large detachment of soldiers to maintain order. The image captures the soldiers in a moment of quiet anticipation, the drill shed providing a stark contrast to the chaos and turmoil outside. The men, with their rifles at the ready, exude a sense of discipline and control, a reminder of the force that could be brought to bear should the need arise. The Black Watch, also known as the Royal Highland Regiment of Scotland, had a long and storied history, having seen action in numerous conflicts and campaigns. Their arrival in Dundee marked a significant moment in the city's history, a testament to the potential for civil unrest and the role of the military in maintaining law and order. Despite the threatening encounters between rioters and the police, the soldiers remained steadfast, their commitment to their duty unwavering. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the presence of the military on the streets of Scottish cities was a common occurrence, and the importance of maintaining order in the face of civil unrest.
