So, I read that "Seaforth MacKenzie" was designed for the 72nd Foot (Seaforth's Highlanders) in 1778.
When did they begin adding white areas to create "dress" MacKenzie? And why?
BTW Barnes lists three regiments as wearing MacKenzie in 1800:
71st Foot (MacLeod's Highlanders, raised 1777)
72nd Foot (Seaforth's Highlanders, raised 1778)
78th Foot (Ross-shire Buffs, raised 1793)
Why would MacLeod's Highlanders wear MacKenzie?
