Another great little book is "Tartan: the Highland Habit" by Hugh Cheape (ISBN# 0 948636 70 X).

I agree that the Osprey books are af great value, especially for the period images and modern renderings (regardless of one's opinion of Mr Reid!).

My reenactment friend Mara Riley is extremely knowledgeable on the subject as well. Here is her website:

One of the original questions in this thread concerned highlanders in N. America, and how they modified their clothing and equipment.

The following link is a compilation of documents and orders from the 42nd Regiment (Black Watch) during its service during the French & Indian War (Seven Years' War to you Europeans!). Some of the Order Book entries give an insight into the topic, including mention of leggings and "fillebegs." My favorite is an order to cut up old tents to make "short drawers"....

Others have supplemented rather well for resource material. You could do a belted plaide, or a feilidh beag. Either one should be historically accurate. the 'Beags are neat, but so is the belted plaide. Really your call, and what relative class of individual you wish to portray.
