The King’s colour of Barrell’s Regiment of Foot (left) and the Jacobite colour carried by the Stewarts of Appin. Amidst "tut tuts" and pursed lips the kilt was tugged from its arse-about-face position to whatever the opposite of that phrase is. Old Annie was from the Stewarts of Appin, who were West Highland cousins of the Royal House of Stuart. When the flag bearer was cut down, another Appin Stewart gathered it up. And so, on the other side of the world, a Stewart descendant wore a kilt for one whimsical hour — the same length of time as the battle of Culloden.
