Description

A hard tartan jacket made in Uist. With linen lined sleeves. The colourful tartan lining differs between the skirts and bodice. It is a fantastic example of 18th century textile design. It is said to have been worn at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The battle on Drummossie Moor outside Inverness, was the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil and the final engagement of the 1745 Rising fought between the Jacobite and Hanovarian armies.
