There were kilts mentioned in some of these books.
Ok, I finished reading the book. Some of the things about Rogers made me think of Dale Seago; not everything, though. 
Highland soldiers were mentioned a couple of times, but I don't think there was any discussion of kilts, though trews did come up: the Forty-Second I think.
"Rogers's Rules of Ranging" are reprinted in the back of the book along with several other things. I'm not qualified to say whether it was historically well written, but it was a very interesting read, and I enjoyed the book.

Reason: Mispelled "trews."
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
