In response to the first Anachronism re: date of 1754. In the original play, it was 1747, as the play opened on Broadway March 13, 1947. The law prohibiting the tartans, kilts, bagpipes and arms went into effect in late 1746/early 1747. Tartan trews and kilts would have still been worn. As an aside, Roman Catholicism was practiced by many clans, and Protestantism was practiced by other clans. Catholic & Scottish Episcopalian clans tended to be supporters of the Jacobites (losers of the battle/war) and Protestants were supporters of the Hanoverians. The Campbells (the family name in the play) were supporters of the Hanoverians, delaying their proscription of wearing Highland clothing.
