Exactly right, Ted. the Highland regiments were an integral part of the British efforts against the French during the French and Indian Wars. They played a legendary part in the (unsuccessful) British assault on Ft. Ticonderoga (very near me..) although it was not named that at the time. I think it was Ft. Carillon at the time, but don't quote me.... The fort did eventually fall, and the British took posession, changing the name to Ticonderoga.
