    Aha. That was actually the site I've already been getting most of my info from. Thanks. Good to know I'm on the right track.

    I would highly recommend you obtain a copy of Through So Many Dangers: The Memoirs and Adventures of Robert Kirk, Late of the Royal Highland Regiment:

    http://www.catskill.net/purple/kirk.htm

    Ian McCulloch's Highlander in the French and Indian War is also a good starting point for basic information about the life of a Highland soldier in North America:

    http://www.amazon.com/Highlander-Fre.../dp/1846032741

    And finally, Stephen Brumwell's Redcoats: The British Soldier and War in the Americas, 1755-1763 devotes a chapter to Highlanders serving in the F & I:

    Regards,
