It was a Jocobite army not Scottish containing Highlanders, Lowlanders Irish and French. There was even an English Regiment (Manchester) which stayed to occupy Carlisle so wasn't at the battle. The Government forces were equally diverse containing Lowland Highland and Hanovarian untis in addition to the English. 2. The instrument was never outlawed after the defeat this is a myth. It was called an instrument of war by the judge in the only piper to be executed for rebellion's trail but so were trumpets and drums and he was convicted of treason not playing the pipes. The Proscription act of 1747 never mentions pipes in any way shape of form and you have to misquote the judge and call it a weapon not an instrument to get it to fit the act. In addition there are no records of anyone being prosecuted for playing owning or teaching the pipes. There is also plenty of evidence of famous civilian pipers, pipe makers and piping schools in existence in the immediate aftermath of Culloden and for decades afterwards. The act of Proscription which actually banned arms and weapons and the wearing of tartan (except for the Army and Landed Gentry) was repealed only in 1782. The first new Highland regiment after Culloden was raised in 1757 some 25 years before the repeal of the act.
