As far as the "Black Watch" goes and references to France, Spain and Gibraltar in the chorus ("Through Gibraltar tae France and tae Spain) the song would have to date from the French Revolutionary Wars and the early years of the Napoleonic War together covering a period from between 1796 and 1807 when the 42nd Regiment of Foot was stationed at Gibraltar (In 1808 the Spanish became our allies).
