Me too, me too I have plenty of covenant civilian and highland kit for late 17thC but not much for the Cameronian/Redcoat side of things. The last time we wore that kit was the Real Tartan Army filming for Loudouns at Douglas in 2002. http://www.scotwars.com/gallery/Film%20Work/Filming%20-%20Real%20...

Who's doing the Royal Ecosse?

No Tod I don't think Phil did all of that but I knew you had. Was this music giving you grief when I was building sandcastles down on the beach with the little red men or at the ceilidh at night that my wife wouldn't let me go to....that rumour is already doing the rounds!!! :wink: Speak to you soon...

Hi Phil I missed you...... I thought I might have glimpsed you as we marched off but I ended up on the beach with some redcoats so didn't get the chance to come along for a chat. Did everything go okay with Lothian and Borders then if you're a gun for hire next year?? Unfortunately missed the ceilid...

Jude I think the LH is all at Bankton House grounds. Most of the Czech re-enactors stay on it over the whole weekend and come down and back for the ceilidh etc. It was there the last time anyway, but it is quite a dispersed event so there may be something in the park as well. The camp visitors seeme...

Hi Ian I seem to remember something about a Jacobite attempt to assault Inverary in the 1715 Rising that was stopped just outside the town. I think the Glenorchy and Breadalbane Campbells were involved on the Jacobite side. I'll check and see if I can fine the source. I think Szechi "1715" was the b...

Rich I can only echo Steve's comment. If you fancy doing Jacobite re-enactment and are based in England then I would say Rose and Thistle in Lace Wars, who portray John Roy Stewart's Edinburgh Regiment, is your best choice. Accurate depictions of 18thC Highlanders, Lowlanders, Picquets etc. Lots of ...

The Gaelic for Charles is actually Tearlach pronounced Charlach and Prionnsa is the Gaelic for Prince........ both probably derived from original English language usage words translated into Gaelic. The word telebhisean for television is a modern example of this. It would seem likely to me that "Bon...

Hi Mark The St Patrick's cross c 1803 was a later "invention" to allow for Ireland's representation on the Union Flag. I would imagine it was based, ironically considering the politics of said flag, on the Irish Elizabethan War of 1590s and the Catholic Confederation flags of the 1640s which often h...

Hi Tod
In the States Jas Townsend and Smiling Fox Forge are two web-sites that I've seen them on. Not sure on provenance (may be 1770s) but they look the part.
