The uniform of the regiment was red, with the regular Highland
equipments.

It is worthy of remark that, when first raised, there were no less
than 19 officers in the regiment named Mackenzie. It is probable that
the proportion of non-commissioned officers and privates of that
name was equally large, owing to the fact of the regiment having, as
already stated, been principally raised on the estates of the Earl
of Cromarty, the father of Lord McLeod. These estates are now in the
possession of the present Duchess of Sutherland, who is Countess of
Cromarty in her own right.
