The Royal Highland Emigrants were raised in Canada from, primarily emigrants who lived in Canada and were veterans of Highland regiments. They wore British army uniforms similar to other Highland regiments of the time (i.e., short coats with blue facings (as a Royal regiment) and Government Tartan kilts/belted plaids. There is a contemporary watercolor of one of them.
Butler's Rangers was a full regiment raised of Loyalists from what is now New York State and (IIRC) Upper Canada. They had one company of Highlanders. The reenactors of this company have always worn a kilt, but I'm not sure what references they have to support this. It could have been merely a way to stick Gaelic speakers together.
The Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in the South early in the Revolution was recently transplanted Highlanders in a hastily formed militia against a Patriot militia. There is anecdotal evidence of pipes being played and tartan being worn. Again, if I remember correctly, Flora MacDonald was involved in raising that militia before she returned to Scotland.
Most of the Highland regiments that landed wearing tartan eventually wore breeches as it was just more practical in the climate, and replacing tartan was difficult overseas.
