    As everyone seems to do 18th century military or Jacobite rising, I'd be inclined to go with late 18th century civilian-- the look and style of a highland laird would be an awesome thing to recreate.

    Awesome, yes, but what would be the context? Portraying a late 18th C. civilian in Scotland would be a lonely endeavour (no one else does it), and there would be no events or venues in N. America where one would "fit in."

    There ARE 1745 events in N. America (2 or 3 per year), and of course numerous French & Indian War and Rev War events and sites to participate in....
