I need info on the original 78th Highlanders

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:

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:

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:
