Goofs

Anachronisms: In the dance/gathering midway through the movie, a member of the band is playing the bodhrán, a frame drum, with a stick called a tipper. For one thing, the bodhrán is a primarily Irish instrument, and there is little evidence to support its presence in 18th-century Scotland. In any case, the tipper style used in the movie is a complete anachronism, not having developed at all until the past hundred-odd years, and only used popularly in the last fifty. Any 18th-century Scottish bodhrán would have been playing by striking it with the hand. See more »
