If memory serves me, didn't the shiny take part in the Battle of Culloden?

If so, then maybe this will be of interest to you:

Government artillery gunners may have hit their own troops while firing mortars into a Jacobite charge, a new book has suggested.

A chapter in Culloden: The History and Archaeology of the Last Clan Battle said the risk of friendly fire was a "very real one".

Archaeologists found shrapnel from mortar shells close to where frontline infantry had stood.
