Fraser's 78th Highlanders

Dedicated to the men, women, and families connected to Colonel Simon Fraser’s 78th Regiment of Foot (Fraser’s Highlanders), which served during the Seven Years’ War in North America, 1757–1763.

This channel examines the lived realities of the Seven Years’ War through original documents, military records, correspondence, and overlooked archival sources. Rather than focusing solely on campaigns or battles, the emphasis is on people, institutions, and decisions—how regiments were formed, supplied, administered, and experienced by those who lived through the war.

Topics range widely across military, social, and domestic history, guided by surviving evidence and historical context. Viewers drawn to the 18th-century Highland world often depicted in historical dramas such as Outlander may find this channel offers a deeper, document-based historical perspective grounded in the archival record.
