Timehiker, thanks for the input. Given that fact that we would have traveled by ship (it takes to long to walk across the Atlantic), I think we would have picked up some shanties as well.
Our unit is based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota. We can field about 20 soldiers if schedules work out okay. Generally 8 to 10 make any given event. For most events, with the exception of a corporal, we are all privates. Ocassionally we have a leftenant to act as an interpreter for the public. Please feel free to visit our website http://www.highlandregiment.org to view some pictures. If you wish to communicate outside of this forum, I can be reached at twessling@usinternet.com.
