    I have not read the other posts, and you may have already received your answers, but there is a book called: "Blue Bonnets o'er the border" about the 179th Highlanders in NY. It was written by my room mate in Baghdad, Mark McKnight. I found my copy on EBay.

    As you were; The 79th New York Cameron Highlanders, and the author goes by William Mark McKnight. He uses many illustrations, blurry photos and historical references to give an accurate idea of the uniforms of the time.

    Interesting write up. I enjoyed reading it and learning a little more about the Scottish-American connections during the Civil War.
