Note 278 — PART THIRD. HISTORY OF THE HIGHLAND REGIMENTS.

The Conduct of the Officers at Fontenoy Considered. Lond. 1745.—“Such was the battle of Fontenoy, and such were the facts from which a very favourable opinion was formed of the military qualifications of the Black Watch, as it was still called in Scotland. At this period there was not a soldier in the regiment born south of the Grampians.”—Stewart’s Sketches, i. 278.
