Depends on what you are talking about:

Jacobite rebellions in Scotland - Scots ECW or suitably-dressed civilians would fill the role. If you are desperate for kilted artillerymen, then the existing clansmen can be easily converted.  In the rebellions their artillery was always weak, of bad quality and poorly served.  Forget Napoleon's grand battery; more like neglected little pieces of indeterminate calibre served by those who barely knew one end from the other.

Jacobites in Ireland (Williamite wars), a different matter.

Och aye the noo  :D

Good idea sv52, I hadn't seen the scots guns in the ecw range i'll inverst in a couple see what they look like. I have guns for my ecw army so not keen on using them for the   45 rebellion, certainly don't want kilted gunners ;D. And never fear i'm well aware of the poor quality of the Jacobite guns, but a lucky dice might inflict a fatigue point on my english before the charge goes in. thanks again for your help and sugestions. Its much appeciated.
all the best
