The Royal Highland Emigrants of the 1st Battalion were recruited mainly from the "Mohawk Valley," trained in Quebec policing the Canadian frontier from Quebec to Mackinaw.
The 1st Battalion fought in the following battles: Ft. St. Johns PQ 1775, Quebec City PQ 1775-76, Upper Nw York Raid 1777, Lake Champlain Raids 1778, Mohawk Valley Raids of 1780-82.
The Uniform of the Royal Highland Emigrants was at first the Green of the Royal Provincials, but when they became the 84th Regiment of Foot the uniform become like the "Black Watch" in full "Highland Kilt and Kit." The 84th was the only Highland Regiment to keep its Highland Kit throughout the Revolutionary War.
