Looks like an awesome historical park down in Mackinaw City! Sorta reminiscent of how Fort Edmonton park used to be.

Worked there in 95/96 and man, do I still miss it. Best place ever

Very Impressive Craig! As a member of the 2nd Battalion Royal Highland Regiment in Nova Scotia, I am very pleased that you described the differences in uniform. I note that you are wearing the Filhe Bheg or little kilt, wheras we still wear the Filhe Mhor, or great plaid, which is, as the expression goes "the full 9 yards" long.

[@kiltedpatriotatheart]

I've got a full belted plaid, but it's yards are but four

VERY INFORMATIVE SIR .

[@isaacwalters5061]

Well done, Craig! Not sure how I missed this when it was done, but the uniform and kilt look great!

the "purse" was basically a lunch box. It is where soldiers on the march kept their rations,

[@hughbritten4391]

WE NEED MORE UNIFORM VIDEOS and maybe ones on flags both British and American forces

[@deanpingel879]

Excellent, informative. Hope to make thrip from Wisconsin this summer. Keep the videos coming.

[@kingericson490]

A follow up note on the Sporrans. Most references to the 84th would have been either of Badger or Raccoon in the American Theatre of War. I myself have a replica copy of Colonel Alexander MacLean's own sporran which (since I am a Sergeant of the Regiment) has a badger's head mounted on the front of the sporran. Most privates would simply have ones like yours, with just the fur coat of the beast, and Pipers, Drummers, or officers would have brass plates on theirs.

Another very informative video. Congratulations!

Hard to believe they would have worn kilts in that area in winter. I know the area & winters can be brutal.

[@hewhodoes8073]

They wore kilts all-year in the Scottish highlands, they're made out of thick wool. Very warm but still breathable.

[@bluesSGL]

I am handsewing a kilt like that since I think it's nice alternative to a tailored kilt for casual wear.
