Nope, the highlanders wouldn't where the same tartan, just paint them all different coloured tartans.
Cannon's Irish are probably the unit your thinking off, they were infact an Irish Dragoon regt, Colonel Nicholas Purcell's Dragoons, I painted them in red with yellowish cuffs, but others have them in grey/white coats and cuffs, they're also depicted in the Killicrankie book "I met the Devil & Dundee" like this. And as they were Dragoons they shouldn't/wouldn't have any pike.
As for the Jacobite Horse, I painted them in civillian clothing, you could paint a few of them in a red coat cuffed in yellow to represent the last of Dundee's own disbanded regt The Royal regt of Horse? Nobody actually knows this one so you could paint them up anyway you want to??
