No! There is no known evidence to support any regiment, person, anyone, wearing a kilt at any battle of the american civil war. There is also no evidence to support the playing of bagpipes at any battle. The closer we get to the reenacting season, the more this question seems to pop up.. Don't look for and excuse to act like a FARB/Streamer. If your going to FARB it up, as the Nike ads say, "Just Do it." Otherwise, would people stop looking for the one example, excuse, etc. to justify them wearing the kilt to funnel cake row. Sorry to gripe and rant here, but I am just sick of this question and people fishing to justify what they want to do. Do it, and be historically in correct, or don't do it and be accurate. I don't care either way, just stop looking for a way to justify your inaccurate portrayal to other reenactors around the campfire at night, while you chug back on a few tall boys, and tell the story of the one guy, in the battle of 7 1/4 Pines, on the 25th day of the battle at the 7th hour who wore a kilt and played the pipe fr 32 1/2 seconds, until someone from his own unit shot him in the head for not accurately portraying a soldier of the 25 5/8 Virginia Half Quart Low Volunteer Mounted Infantry Naval Fleet.
Sorry, my rant is over. It just needed to be said.
