The 65th Highland Company
A company of the 65th Regiment of Foot
The 77th Regiment of Foot (Montgomerie's Highlanders) was a Highland Scots Regiment raised under Major Archibald Montgomerie, son of the Earl of Eglinton. It was originally raised as the "First Highland Battalion" in 1757, around Stirling, Scotland, with thirteen companies.
In July 1763, a British relief column of 500 British soldiers, including the 42nd Highlanders, 60th Royal Americans, and 77th Highlanders, left Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to relieve Fort Pitt, then under siege. Indian scouts observed Bouquet's army marching west along Forbes Road and reported this to the Indians surrounding Fort Pitt. On August 5, at about 1PM, a group of the force investing Fort Pitt ambushed the British column one mile east of Bushy Run Station, at Edge Hill. The British managed to hold their ground until after sunset, when the natives withdrew. Bouquet ordered a redoubt constructed on Edge Hill, and the British placed their wounded and livestock in the center of the perimeter.
The battle cost the lives of 50 British soldiers, including 29 of the 42nd Highlanders, seven of the 60th Royal Americans dead, six of the 77th Highlanders, and eight Civilians and volunteers dead.
One contemporary report claimed that 20 Indians were killed and many more wounded. The result of the battle invoked "widespread relief on the frontier", since the native warriors had been defeated on their own ground.

Linebattles & Training
We will aim to have at least 3-4 line battles a week, and to try and do some form of training every day. As we grow in numbers we hope we can do more of both, and make it a very fun regiment.
