Recruitment poster announcement for the raising of the 78th Regiment in 1778 by Kenneth Mackenzie in gratitude to King George III for restoring the family title of ‘Earl of Seaforth’ to him, after it had been removed following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715.

It reads: "SEAFORTH'S HIGHLANDERS. To be forthwith raised for the DEFENCE of His Glorious Majesty KING GEORGE the Third, and the Preservation of our Happy Constitution in Church and State. All LADS of TRUE HIGHLAND BLOOD willing to shew their Loyalty and Spirit may repair to SEAFORTH, or the Major, ALEXANDER MACKENZIE of Belmaduthy; or the other Commanding Officers at head Quarters at ________________________ where they will receive HIGH BOUNTIES and SOLDIER-LIKE ENTERTAINMENT. The LADS of this Regiment will LIVE and DIE together;- as they cannot be DRAUGHTED into other Regiments, and must be reduced in a BODY in their OWN COUNTRY. Now for a stroke at the Monsieurs, my Boys! KING George for ever! HUZZAH!"

Osgood Hanbury Mackenzie (1842-1922) was a Scottish landowner and the creator of a famous garden at Inverewe, near Poolewe in Wester Ross. In 1862, with the help of his mother he purchased the 12,000-acre estate of Inverewe and Kernsary. There he built a Scottish Baronial style mansion and set about creating a garden. Mackenzie concentrated first on establishing shelter belts of Native and Scandinavian pines and built a walled garden. He also created woodland walks. Within 40 years, he had established one of the finest collections in Scotland of temperate plants from both Northern and Southern hemispheres.
