The popular myth of Moore's Creek was that Highlanders fought Highlanders all in kilts, but I'm not sure about that. I do know that Highland regiments wore leggings or gaiters. I have since seen other threads on this topic, and will have the young man research from those listed references.
Thanks!

I wrote a paper in my university paper about this, oh, ten years ago. Can't remember much except that, yes, not all were kilted. The one side was mostly, they were trying to maintain a tradition/memory.
Going to have to find that paper and read it over. Got a good mark on it.
