Among
these early Scottish Regiments was the 77th. They served in Pennsylvania
in 1758 under General Forbes and were the bulk of the British forces
at the battle known as Grant's Defeat (present day Pittsburgh).
Five years later, following the Battle of Bushy Run, the 77th returns
to Pittsburgh, the burial site of Grant's soldiers. Here two Highlanders
pay their last respects to a fallen comrade.
