The Celtic reference I cited earlier has surfaced enough today for me to think there is something to the memory, and I did not remember it wrong. There are several references to Highlanders in both the Revolutionary war, and the War between the States. Unfortunately the web is an unreliable resource for anything but empirical knowledge and opinion. If I nail down a citation that I feel is strong enough to make the case, I'll share it with you. In the meantime, the cited Celtic article makes most sense to me, because of my experience. I doubt a man who has to spend day after day bent over a mule drawn plow would allow himself to become sun-burned to the extent that a whole class of people gets called red-neck. Fun stuff indeed, and I plan to withdraw this thread until I get a firm citation that supports my Civil War notion.
