I am not sure what reliable evidence you would need or accept. A hand written note from somebody dated 1790, A church entry that talked about it. Neither of which you will find since Folklore talks about it happening when the tartan was banned and paper was not as available as it is today.
As too a decade of study - it took Howard carter 31 years to find King Tut.. keep looking - i would like to know the truth
I stand by my statement that it may not have happened but it it is impossible to prove that it did not happen.
