The Sutherland's were a Hanoverian (Government) force during the Jacobite Rebellion. (anti-Jacobite) They as well as the forces of Clan Gunn and MacKay were enlisted during this time. (All 3 were somewhat neighbors) Eventually there would be the Sutherland and Argyll Highlander's. (look up the painting "The thin Red Line") Their tartan was the Government sett. The Sutherland district tartan is also the Government sett. (This should be in Matt's articles)

Here is a free online book on the Black Watch.

Here is a website for Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
