I wanted to pose this question to you folks who really know the history of the Regiments.
Were there any kilted Highlanders fighting in the Zulu Wars?

A good friend of mine who's a filmmaker (and also a small-time kiltie) is in the midst of a project right now, part of which will involve some British soldiers in Africa. He'd like to have them kilted, but only if that would be historically accurate.

Also, if there were kilted soldiers afield then and there, if anyone could point me toward the right type of kit to have them wearing (and possibly where to procure said kit, the likes of which would look good on camera), it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the assistance, folks. I'm credited as the historical advisor on this film, but this is a question on which I'd like external input .
