HistoryThe building was designed as the headquarters of the 7th Forfarshire Rifle Volunteers and was opened in November 1879.[1] The 7th Forfarshire Rifle Volunteers evolved to become the 2nd Forfarshire (Forfar and Angus) Rifle Volunteers in 1880 and the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Highlanders, the Black Watch in 1887.[2] The offices at the front of the building were designed by Thomas Martin Cappon and completed in 1897.[3] The 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Highlanders, the Black Watch evolved to become the 5th (Angus and Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch in 1908.[4] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[5] It then amalgamated with the 4th (City of Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch to form the 4th/5th (Angus and Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch with its headquarters at the Parker Square drill hall in Dundee in March 1916.[6] The 4th Battalion and 5th Battalion operated separately from 1919 and 1922, when they amalgamated again, and between 1939 and 1947, when they amalgamated yet again, with one company, D Company, remaining at the Bank Street drill hall until the battalion was disbanded in 1967.[7] The drill hall was subsequently decommissioned and is now used by a curtain-making business, Angus Classic Interiors.[8] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200406057-angus-classic-interiors-former-drill-hall-13-bank-street-brechin-brechin#.WU1arGjysdU|title=Angus Classic Interiors, (former Drill Hall), 13 Bank Street, Brechin|publisher=British listed buildings|accessdate=23 June 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.btinternet.com/~james.mckay/bwrvol.htm |title=The Black Watch |publisher=Scottish military history |accessdate=23 June 2017 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050405233357/http://www.btinternet.com/~james.mckay/bwrvol.htm |archivedate=5 April 2005 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/193311/brechin-13-bank-street-drill-hall|title=Brechin, 13 Bank Street, Drill Hall|publisher=Canmore|accessdate=23 June 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/042Black.htm |title=Black Watch |publisher=Regiments.org |accessdate=23 June 2017 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051230124806/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/042Black.htm |archivedate=30 December 2005 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-infantry-regiments-of-1914-1918/royal-highlanders-black-watch/|title=Black Watch |publisher=The Long, Long Trail|accessdate=21 May 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://vzone.virgin.net/ian.edwards2/bwmain.htm |title=5th (Angus & Dundee) Battalion, the Black Watch |publisher=Ian Edwards |accessdate=23 June 2017 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060128210126/http://vzone.virgin.net/ian.edwards2/bwmain.htm |archivedate=28 January 2006 }} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/territorial-army-infantry/black-watch-2.html|title=Black Watch|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=23 June 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Hwz7hYFu4uMJ:https://pub-prod-sdk.azurewebsites.net/api/file/381b68ec-a5d0-4254-b68e-a75f00a2b2cc+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk|page=2|title=Scotland’s Drill Halls|publisher=Historic Environment Scotland|accessdate=23 June 2017}} 2 : Drill halls in Scotland|Buildings and structures in Angus |
