Highlanders (not lowlanders) wore the kilt in battle up to the 18th century. The last battle on British soil was in 1746, the Battle of Culloden where the kilt was worn on both sides by the Highland units of the Jacobite forces and the Highland units of the Government Hanoverian forces. After the battle the act of proscription was introduced banning the wearing of the kilt in the highlands (although not the lowlands) - "Highland Clothes (that is to say) the plaid, philibeg, or little kilt, trowse, shoulder belts, or any part whatsoever of what peculiarly belongs to the highland garb; and that no tartan, or partly-coloured plaid or stuff shall be used for great coats, or for upper coats". The ban stayed in place until 1782. The ban was however exempted for the British military and Highland regiments including the Black Watch who fought in kilts throughout the period. The original kilt of plaid was a larger garment than todays kilt and was also wrapped around the upper body. The "little kilt" became popular towards the end of the 18th century. The kilt continued to be worn in battle by highland regiments up to the first world war. It's last recorded use in battle was at Dunkirk during the second world war by the Cameron Highlanders. It continues to be used by British Regiments for ceremonial use.
