When the 79th was out, the Pipers were sure to fallow...or...lead? So to speak.

DRILL OF THE HIGHLAND REGIMENT. -- The Highland Regiment last evening took their turn at a drill in the New Armory. The Regiment consists of six companies, all of which were represented, and numbered about 150 muskets. Before the hour for commencing the drill nearly one thousand persons had taken possession of the seats and standing room, which was increased to nearly about 1,500. At 9 o'clock the regiment formed in line. The uniform was a mixture of the Scottish and "regulation." The Glengary bonnet and blue cloth coats were set off in handsome contrast with the plaid tartan, the sporran belts and red and white stockings. For new recruits, which composed a large majority of the various companies, the drilling did not approximate to the perfection of the Seventh Regiment. They went through a portion of the manual, and some of their evolutions were applauded by the partial lookers on. ROBERTSON's Band furnished the music, and there were two bagpipes to give the national (nasal) twang to the performance. It was late before the company separated.

I completely understand being skeptictical. I feel like 90% of the time Im crashing the brave heart fantasy party. Being Skeptical makes for a healthy debate!
