The Forty Twa
Well the order of precedence for the British Foot Guards are
Grenadiers (organized in 1656)
Coldstream (organized in 1650)
Scots (organized in 1642 but not added to the English Establishment until 1686)
The Royal Scots are the oldest of the Line at 1632 but they did not fight at Long Island
The Black Watch (42d Highland Foot) were founded in 1662 but had a long history in North America and were present at Long Island.
I know the 60th Regiment (Loyal Americans) was skirmishing and scouting unit but they were not at Long Island and were raised in 1754.
So I'll say the 42d Highland Regiment of Foot
