Don't know if anyone answered you but here goes -In the army reforms of 1881,the 42nd Regiment became the 1st Battalion The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) and it was linked with the 73rd (Perthshire) Regiment which became the 2nd battalion.So if you are looking for the Royal Highlanders, look at the Black Watch.Hope this helps.
