Less exuberant than a red tartan and wonderfully easy to style, this is a knee blanket for anyone drawn to traditional Scottish design but who prefers their colour rich, quiet and timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is real history behind this famous sett. Black Watch tartan is associated with the historic Black Watch regiment, whose origins lie in the Independent Highland Companies raised following the Jacobite Rising of 1715. Those companies were brought together into a regiment in 1739, and the dark tartan became closely associated with what was later the 42nd Regiment of Foot. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is even a lovely connection between the original Highland plaid and the way we use a blanket today: historical accounts describe the Black Watch soldiers' great plaid being wrapped around the shoulders in poor weather and serving as a covering at night. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur version has a rather more comfortable life ahead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven from 100% pure new wool, this smaller sized blanket is just right for warming your legs without the bulk of a large throw.
