I am reading a very interesting book called, "Highland Heritage" by anthropologist Celeste Ray. It is an examination of the Scottish heritage movement of the southeastern United States, especially in North Carolina. It talks about Flora Mcdonald's connection to North Carolina and the big deal they make of it in that state. The Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge was mentioned. I had never heard of this particular Revolutionary War battle so I googled it. This led me to a Wikipedia rabbit hole and to the 84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants) some of whose members were involved in the battle.

Does anyone here know what tartan the 84th would have worn? Wikipedia says the government tartan, which I assume means what is now called 'Black Watch'. I am just curious but the idea of a kilted regiment in North America is interesting to me.
