I think he was referring to the legacy of the Armed Forces that the tartans represent...not so much the legacy of the tartan itself. When you get right down to it, isn't that the deal with all tartan? Is there something special about the Black Watch tartan that makes it proud and honorable? Not in my opinion...it is just a symbol...like a flag, unit colors, etc. It is the men who wore it that have made the legacy and who we honor by wearing it...not the person that invented the pattern.
