She divorced Bruce Willis and had flings with several younger men.

Oh, wait. That was Demi Moore in the 20th century.

It was in Scotland.

In the aftermath, the wearing of the kilt was banned, as was the playing of bagpipes.

I should know this, having lived in Scotland, but I can't think...

Was it a battle between the Scots and the English?

Battle - correct ....
Popular misconception - between Government forces and rebels lead by Prince Charles.

Battle of Culloden?
The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair) was the final confrontation of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. Taking place on 16 April 1746, the battle pitted the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart against an army commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, loyal to the British government. The Jacobite cause to overthrow the reigning House of Hanover and restore the House of Stuart to the British throne was dealt a decisive defeat at Culloden; Charles Stuart never mounted any further attempts to challenge Hanoverian power in Britain. The conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil, occurring near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in less than one hour, while government losses were lighter with 50 dead and 259 wounded.



For the most correct answer poohbear_nc leads on the next one ....

Correct a mundo! Unless pooh decides to have his turn that I usurped, it must be your turn.

Why do some things like Morse's rego stick in your mind? It must be because you don't see the same rego over and over again in any other shows.

OK.
While we still awaits pooh, I have this somewhat cryptic little quiz.

It is merely a date: 28th October 1886.

Hint: Amongst other countries, France and Norway were involved.
(Bonus for answering the hints as well)
