How long do these special meanings persist? Until the last former member of the regiment passes on? Forever?

What was the Black Watch Regiment, is now "The Black Watch, The 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland." So it has not disappeared. The whole of The Royal Regiment of Scotland wear the Black Watch tartan.
