At Fort Frederica (the fort in which the Highlanders and General Oglethorpe's Regiment of Foot were posted) they have documents which state that (and I can't remember the amount as it was stated before) the tartan was to be of non discript tartan to be made into kilts and jackets with matching hose. In other words, a kilt of one tartan, and Jacket and hose of matching tartan (but different from that of the kilt) for his "highland independent company of foot". He also ordered muskets, broadswords, and targes so that they could implement their own highland style of fighting. The highlanders then spent the entire ship ride over drilling themselves in the British drill of the time. While the muskets, the broadswords, and targes were of lower quality, and so the highlanders also implented their own weapons if they had them. Of coarse being the relentless highlanders they were, they reworked what muskets they could and got them into firing order. So, at the Battle of Gully Hole Creek on St. Simons Island, the first skirmish against the Spanish invaders, the first Highland Charge in North America took place!!
