Can anyone who is familiar with these two infantry compare the two.
The main things I know: Grenadiers get priority on sending members for the Ottawa ceremonial guard (dress uniform is red with the big furry helmets), whereas black watch wear kilts and have bag pipes in the band.
Other than that, I don't know what to consider when choosing.
I'm finding it very difficult to decide, as I'm interested in the Ceremonial guard and the history of the CGG, but the Black Watch has an equally interesting heritage and the unique kilt and the fact that I've had relatives serve in the Scottish Black Watch is something to consider as well.
And of course, traditions aside I'd be interested to know about the general reputation of the units.
