Does anyone among the rabble have a shot of a kilt in Campbell Ancient colors worn semi-formally (i.e. - w/an Argyle)?

Thanks in advance!

Why not go right to the top!

It appears (from the grey hair) that "Young Campbell" might be a bit older than "Big Campbell"

and has four legs, too.

I like the red hose he's wearing. Nice contrast.

Also I wonder what tartan the person in the middle is wearing.

Yes, Johnny is considerably older than Torquhil!

He does seem to like those hose quite a bit. (can't blame him a bit) There are a few pics of him on the Campbell society site wearing them to match the dress his wife is wearing.

You need to understand the highland terminology! For example, "Big Jock" could be 6ft 7in tall and weighs 20 stone, on the other hand "Wee Jock" could be 7ft 6in tall and weighs 30 stone! Do not make the mistake of believing all the descriptions. Although, maybe,perhaps ,just occasionally it could be accurate!

How does all this work? I hear you ask.Well, "Wee Jock" may be "Big Jock's" son and for the first 12 years of "Wee Jock's" life he was smaller than his father, however as "Wee Jock" continued to grow the name still sticks with him!

For those that don't know, there are 14lbs in one stone.

That tradition continues in Virginia. When I was a kid, my grandfather was Big Turpin, my uncle (who was significantly larger) was Little Turpin, and my younger brother was Least Turpin.
