    Earlier Stuart Reid & the Osprey series of books was referenced. I thought I'd post scans of some of the artwork from these books as they pertain to the Royal Ecossois:

    Scottish Mercenaries - Royal Ecossois illustrating variations in the uniform 1746-1753:
    figure 1 circa 1746 / figure 2 1753


    Fusilier, Royal Ecossois 1746


    Grenadier, Royal Ecossois 1746


    ...the last image reminds me of a certain XMarks'er residing in the French Alps!
