[5] The regiment also saw action at the Battle of Mallavelly in March 1799 and went on to form part of the storming party at the siege of Seringapatam in April 1799 during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War.[10] It returned to England in February 1806[11] and then lost its Highland status due to recruiting difficulties, becoming the 74th Regiment of Foot in April 1809.[30] The regiment transferred to Antigua in November 1835: it was then split into two formations which were deployed to Dominica and to Saint Lucia in February 1837.[12] The commanding officer, Colonel Eyre Crabbe, was able to assure the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, the Duke of Wellington, "that throughout the varied services and changes of so many years, a strong national feeling, and a connection with Scotland by recruiting, had been constantly maintained.[34] In 1852 a detachment from the regiment departed Simon's Town aboard the troopship HMS Birkenhead bound for Port Elizabeth.
