I have no idea what the Highlanders wore or what arms they carried, but at the Battle of Worcester(1651 I think!)the Highlanders fared very badly and Clan MacLeod, for example, (depending on whose account you read) lost between 400 and 700 men killed. After the battle(the last of the Civil War) several thousand Highlanders were deported by the victor, Cromwell, mainly to the West Indies I believe. One of the reasons Clan MacLeod never took part in any major way in military excursions after that, was due to the losses in this battle. You may find some information that is pertinent to your question from websites on the battle and Worcester Museum.
