87th Regiment of Foot (Keith's Highlanders)

[billyturnip]

Can anyone tell me what tartan the above regiment wore during their brief existence, 1759-63?
As they were formed from three companies of the 42nd Foot I'm guessing Government tartan but a guess isn't good enough
Thanks in advance.

Roger.

Hi Roger,
I have had a quick look about why not try these 2, this may be what you are after.
cheers

Thanks Richie, I'll check those out when I get home from sea, the sites are blocked on the ships computer. (I'm at work in case you're wondering )

Thanks for the PM Richie, the image at Kronoskaf.com is just the job and I can see it on Google images. It also helps with other bits and pieces for a project I have in mind when I get home.

Thanks again,
Roger.

Thank you Mike, I think that must be the link Richie is referring to. I was able to see it using Google images so it's just what I was after.
Ok that's the easy bit dealt with, painting the tartan on 54mm flats could proove more difficult.

Thanks again for taking the trouble Mike, it's appreciated.

Roger.
