Discover the story of Scotland’s oldest Highland Regiment at Balhousie Castle in the heart of Perth. Home to a Collection of National Significance, our museum explores over 300 years of The Black Watch’s military history from their formation in 1739 to their amalgamation in 2006. We also offer an award-winning bistro serving freshly prepared food, a museum shop filled with Scottish gifts and regimental items, and a year-round programme of events that celebrate heritage, creativity and community. The Black Watch Castle and Museum is also available for private and corporate venue hire, providing a memorable setting surrounded by history.
The Black Watch Castle and Museum is operated by The Black Watch Regimental Trust, a registered Scottish charity. Our mission is to support Black Watch veterans and their families through welfare, comradeship and the preservation and promotion of the Regiment’s history and ethos. Every visit, purchase and donation helps us continue this work and keep the legacy of The Black Watch alive.
