How Historically Accurate Is Outlander?

The STARZ TV Series Outlander is set in the Scottish Highlands during the 1740's and includes the fateful Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 with the landing of Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) and the rising of the Highland clans. In this one I'll be going through some talking points from Season 2 Episode 10 named "Prestonpans" and whether or not its portrayal is historically accurate as well as some wider talking points about the Jacobite Risings and the Highland Clan Structure etc.
