Synopsis:
An unauthorised biography of the legendary Scottish regiment. Celebrated for its bravery and clan loyalties, the Black Watch has been in the vanguard of countless British military expeditions from Waterloo and the Somme to Kosovo. Its last great challenge before enforced amalgamation was relieving American forces at Camp Dogwood in Iraq during 2004. The National Theatre of Scotland presents this timely and vital theatrical investigation based on interviews with former soldiers of the Black Watch who served in Iraq: "It's a buzz, you're in a war ay, and you're doing the job you're trained for, but it's no like they're a massive threat tay you or tay your country. You're no defending your country. We're invading their country and fucking their day up."

Synopsis:
Rosia Bay, Gibraltar, 1982. Doink, Jock and Darren have the longest, hottest summer ahead; yomping, watching pirate copies of Rambo and fighting the local lads over a lucrative fleet of octopus that have just hit the Rock. With Darren's fit older sister Tracy to sell the bounty, their dominance of Rosia Bay seems assured. But for the sons and daughters of the British Forces, another war beginning in the South Atlantic wil soon bring a dark heart to their world.
