A surprisingly happy ending, although we don't know how they fared with the 2nd Bn.  42nd out in India.

A note of warning, though: Stewart of Garth's "Sketches of The Character, Manners, and Present State of the Highlanders of Scotland'' (1822) should, in general, be taken with large pinches of salt
