All the Highland regiments at the time of the F&IW (generally referred to as the Seven Years' War in Britain) wore the 42nd (Black Watch or Government) tartan.
There are a number of portraits of the period showing the dress and arms of Highland soldiers (generally, officers) such as the Pinch of Snuff c.1760 by Delacour.
