"The 71st Fraser Regiment was raised by Major General Simon Fraser of Lovat in December 1775 to fight in the American War of Independence. The Duchess of Gordon, at Fochabers in Moray, was an active recruiter for her brother Captain Hamilton Maxwell. This was long before her famous 'kiss and a shilling' for the recruits of the Gordon Highlanders. 2000 men were raised by officers from many clans and sailed along with the 42nd Regiment from Greenock in April 1776. About 500 men, together with their officers were captured off Boston and spent up to nearly two years in captivity, some working for American families. The war would see the 71st fighting in New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, finally being defeated at Yorktown Virginia...Some men chose to settle in Nova Scotia and nearby northern areas. Some deserted, and some finally made it home to Perth" -- Back cover.

Although the oldest regiment in the British Army is the 1st Royal regiment of Foot, usually known as the Royal Scots, it was not until the French and Indian War (known in Europe as the Seven Years War) that Scottish regiments played a significant role in the Army. In fact, between 1756 and 1763, Britain raised 10 regiments of Scots Highlanders to fight in the European and American theaters of that conflict. Many Scottish veterans of this conflict chose to stay in the colonies (sometimes returning to Scotland to bring families and friends back with them). The personal papers of various Scottish combatants, reflecting their nation's participation in or the perspective on that famous conflict, can be found at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Colonial American historian Ian Macpherson McCulloch uses rare sources to bring to life the stirring story of the three Scottish Highland regiments that operated in North America during the French-Indian War (1754-1763). Forbidden to carry arms or wear the kilt unless they served the British King, many former Jacobite rebels joined the new Highland regiments raised in North America. Involved in some of the most bloody and desperate battles fought on the North American continent, Highlanders successfully transformed their image from enemies of the crown to Imperial heroes. The author pays particular attention to the part they played at Ticonderoga, Sillery, Bushy Run and on the Plains of Abraham, Quebec.
