No photo Ron, but here's one of the Penicuik sketches from 1745 showing Gordon of Glenbucket who rode "a little grey highland beast" throughout the campaign while wearing a belted plaid:
I've also seen a 1743 depiction of the 43rd on the march in Europe (Germany I believe), and one of the officers is mounted, wearing a kilt (sorry, I don't have it scanned).
