Should have given more info on the painting above. It was commissioned after Culloden, 1746, so, Ackwell, you're right. The piece above is just a detail. You can find more by googling Culloden or David Morier (the artist).
The point is that the painting was intended to be a true representation of the battle. The subjects on the Scottish side are actual participants, now prisoners. A lot of history has been deduced from this painting, and there has been a lot of challenges. The two that pertain to this thread are the number of different patterns and the amount of clothing worn in battle.
