78th (Highlanders) Regiment of Foot
:''For other units with the same regimental number, see 78th Regiment of Foot (disambiguation)''
The 78th Regiment of Foot (after 1796 sub-titled the Ross-shire Buffs) was a Highland Infantry Regiment of the Line raised in late 18th Century Scotland for service against the French during the French Revolutionary Wars. The Regiment later led to involvement in worldwide military activities in countries such as India, Egypt and South Africa. The regiment is well known for its involvement in the Siege of Lucknow. Their deeds were commemorated by poets such as John Greenleaf Whittier and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.〔See John Greenleaf Whittier ( (The Pipes at Lucknow )) and Alfred, Lord Tennyson (in (The Defence of Lucknow ), he refers to the 78th as "Havelock's glorious Highlanders").〕
On 7 March 1793, Francis Humberstone MacKenzie raised the "78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot".〔The original 78th Foot was raised by the Earl of Seaforth in 1778. This unit served in India in the Mysore Campaigns and on 12 September 1786 its designation was changed to the 72nd Foot (Seaforth Highlanders). (See)〕 Francis Humberston Mackenzie was chief of the Clan Mackenzie and a descendent of the earls of Seaforth. (Its associations were all with the Clan Mackenzie and it bore no relationship to the earlier 78th Fraser Highlanders that fought at Louisbourg and Quebec under Wolfe in the French and Indian War.)
Today there is a re-enactment Regiment and the 78th Highlanders (Halifax Citadel) Pipe Band stationed at Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the original 78th Regiment was stationed for three years (1869-1871).
