Title: Douglas [Gilmour] and Netta [Gilmour] fishing.
Collection: Lady Gilmour
Image Type: full plate glass negative
Originator: Lady Henrietta Gilmour
Location: Fife, Scotland
Date: ca.1891
Description:
Two children fishing off rocky riverbank, the girl in summer dress and boater, with a net, boy in kilt and sporran, with rod.
Notes:
LHG-1-33 pc/
BIOG: Douglas Gilmour (1889-1916), the fifth and youngest son of the photographer and Sir John Gilmour, 1st baronet of Lundin and Montrave; died of wounds received in action during World War I. Seen with his sister, Henrietta (1884-1962), younger daughter of the family; married Robert Purvis of Gilmerton, youngest son of John Purvis of Kinaldy, in 1904. It's been pointed out that there is a discrepancy between the date of the photo (ca.1891) & the apparent age of the child in the kilt. There is no way he's 2 yrs of age. A more likely guess would be around 6 yrs of age, putting the photo around ca.1897

I also like the effect of using a different tartan for the waistcoat and kilt.

ie: original publication? how did you identify the kilted men as glider pilots?
The only kilted 1st Airborne pilot I know of was Capt Ogilvie, KIA in late September, so having 2 inthe same photo is a first for me
Thanks in advance.
