This an excellent thread but I would push it back to the Jacobites, many of whom wore tartan and highland dress as an expression of support for the Stuarts.
@Historylecturer The prohibition only applied to Scotland and plenty of posh people there flouted it.
It does refer to particoloured stuff and tartan but only to ban it from being made into Great coats or Upper coats. There was only person who arrested for wearing a tartan uppercoat.
@Historylecturer Beyond the likelihood being that the majority were in highland dress since there are many letters about shoes during the campaign which certainly suggest they were wearing it.
I contributed a chapter to 'Rebellious Scots to Crush edited by Andrew Bamford about them.
@Historylecturer Three companies of the Argyll militia were on the field - Achnaba's Glenorchy and Melfort's along with Loudoun's (who also wore Highland dress).
The Argyll militia did not actually have a uniform beyond their cockades so it's difficult to know exactly what they wore
