    I know it's not the best picture, but I wanted to share this one of my buddy Timbow who stopped by the Mackay booth back in 2003 and restaged the battle of Culloden:



    Tim handpainted all these fig's, including tartans!!
    We plan to do something similar this year at the Bellingham games in June (I'll try and get a better photo then).

    Oh, by the way, my nephew (who played the Jacobite side) & Timbow (who was the Crown) rewrote history, the Jacobites carried the day

    My thoughts exactly!!
    Though my better judgment (only clouded by history) made me think the green one was a Gordon.
