By the time I assume you mean 1746. The Jacobite era dates from the last quarter of the 17th century and the Gov't tartan certainly didn't exist then. In fact, there's actually no surviving contemporary evidence it being wore before c1758.
Thanks for the clarification, Peter. Given the circumstances of the time, that would be a very important 13 years.

It has been amazing to read the responses here. I appreciate the context that has been provided. It's easy when first learning of this section of history to run wild with ideas and hyperbole,creating links when there are none. Sometimes it is as simple as McCarrot running away with Lady MacOnion to Strawberry Fields. I did decide on the Ross Hunting Modern after the Jacobite Info.
It surely has provided me with several new rabbit holes to decide whether or not to plunder. What a wonderful community on this site.
