From the standpoint of studying the history of Highland Dress the battle is unique in giving us an accurate picture of the Highland Dress worn by commoners at the battle itself.
As we know nearly all of the 18th century portraits show members of the aristocracy, commissioned by themselves.
In spite of knowing what the Highland participants looked like Hollywood presents its dull brown & grey (and oddly hat-poor) re-imagining.
