The regiment was raised in 1760 by the regimentation of independent companies of infantry raised in Argyle and Rossshire; in 1761 it was moved into England, and its other ranks drafted to the 87th and 88th Foot. The officers were returned to Perth to assemble another six companies in 1762, but after these were assembled the regiment was disbanded due to the end of hostilities.
The unofficial title Johnston's Highlanders was adopted from its first Major-Commandant, Sir James Johnston of Westerhall.
