The Ladies From Hades

There is a serious bug in this game which should be addressed ASAP. I'm talking about the fact that Britain has no Highland regiments! After all, everybody knows the kilties saved the Empire.
Accordingly, I propose the following new unit type, for Britain only:
Highlanders: normal infantry, except only built in Highlands province (duh). Start with .25-.5 more morale than normal British units. Should cost extra, especially in textiles (for the kilts, of course). Differ from normal infantry as follows:
Do not deploy skirmishers (I read somewhere, source forgotten, that Highland regiments did not have flanking companies and did not use skirmishers. Perhaps someone who is an expert in the subject could correct me).
Fire +10, Melee +10, extra chance to displace enemy.
As an alternative to building these units (the Brits, after all, only had a few Highland regiments), perhaps a division a year could be added to the Brit forces. After all, almost every other country gets special units of one kind or other.
