The Scots Guards
The Royal Scots
The Kings Own Scottish Borderers
The Black Watch
and The Queens Own Cameron Highlanders (1943-1961)
And I wonder what Wiki means by "a select few civilian groups". Royal Stewart used to be perhaps the most popular tartans worn by civilian pipe bands the world over.
Aye, perhaps not the best source. Sorry about that. Of course as subjects of her majesty anyone in the Commonwealth has the right to wear the Royal Stewart.
