Well, some Campbells did fight at Culloden in both armies, but mostly on the Government side as the Argyll Militia. Of course, "Black Watch" was not their clan tartan at the time - clan tartans not yet in existence! The actual Black Watch, the 43rd (later 42nd) Regiment, was not present at Culloden, but was then serving in Flanders fighting the French....
