Thanks Shaun...that certainly supports the other comments.

I do want to correct myself. I said I had not seen the statistic regarding the number of muskets in comparison to broadswords picked up after Culloden. Well, I went back to Fight For A Throne by Christoper Duffy and found it - 3,230 muskets versus 190 swords. The figure varies from what Pittock says. It appears one of them transposed some numbers and I suspect it was Duffy. Duffy addresses the reason, in his opinion, for the figure by pointing out that Highlanders usually fired one shot then discarded their long arms during the Highland Charge, but that they kept their swords, which were lighter and more easily carried away, not to mention treasured - and very expensive. So, I did see it, just forgot it.

I have ordered Murray Pittock's book. Looks like an interesting read and I want to see how he supports his opinions about the training and equipment of the Jacobite army. Fascinating subject.
