Just to be clear, the quote I was responding to was not about pipe bands, it was the statement "there are a great many Scottish Highland regiments all over the world except for the USA of course".

As far as I know, the 79th New York in the 1858-1861 period was the only US unit to issue Highland Dress with kilts as standard uniform (for its initial companies, not the additional companies raised in 1861 to bring the regiment up to full strength for war service, who were issued tartan trousers).
