DAY THIRTY-TWO TRIVIA

On this day in history, April 16th, the last battle between Scottish rebels called Jacobites and the British army was fought. As a consequence, symbols of highland Scottish clans like kilts and bagpipes were effectively banned. They later became popular again in the 19th Century  as the British army created highland regiments and Queen Victoria began taking summer vacations in Scotland. If history had turned out differently, the great highland bagpipe might have been lost to history and Mr. Butts would have to find some other weird musical instrument to play.

But today your question is where was the last battle of the Jacobite rebellion fought on April 16 and who was the leader who wanted to be king?
