Lindsay had previously raised regiments for the Bishops’ Wars and the expedition to Ulster. The unit in Ulster was still serving with Monro's army.

The regiment was likely dressed in ubiquitous Scots hodden grey with blue bonnets. They carried blue flags with a yellow saltire in 1644¹⁾.

A list of the regiment's officers is shown in Stuart Reid's Scots Armies of the 17th Century 1. The Army of the Covenant 1639-1651 Partizan Press 1998 ISBN 094652550
