[QUOTE=Radge;861778]Too true Sir,
the 'Blae Bunnet' was worn by the troops before the tricorn came in. The Royal Ecossais, Ogilvie's and Albany's were the Franco-Scottish Regiments (not to mention the Jock Jacobites that served in the Irish Regiment's, i.e Dillion's, Routh's, Lally's etc.)

Sorry about the quality of the image below showing Donald Cameron of Lochiel with a Royal Scots (France) uniform with a plaid.

P.S. Msr. Ancienne Alliance, hats off to one of the most interesting and inspiring members of this forum, an' nae mistake.

NB: Culloden/Drumossie Moor 1746 had the Royal Scots of England facing the Royal Scots of France across the field. Ironic huh? Neither side really fighting for Scotland (except maybe the French troops- to a point).
