The Byzantine empire survived for several years every siege that came their way, this scenario is right up their way. Their weapons would be more effective that way, especially the Greek Fire would be something that the Highlanders would not be able to counter in any way. The Highlanders are more fond of a charge and that's it, the Byzantine soldiers would win tactically as well.
