The Highlanders of Scotland

After having been teased by several pictures from this book posted here, I went to the local college to see if they could get a copy to view. No luck. While there are several copies within 50 miles, no one will loan the book out.

If anyone wished to post more pics from it to hold me over until I can make the drive to view it in person, you would certainly have my undying appreciation.

Sorry! I tested it, not sure what happened. Sorry!

Can someone provide the full title and author of the book?

Awesome, what bounty! I've been collecting those watercolours as I come across them but it is great to see them all together.

Great link. I was going to say it was the best resource I have found yet, but clearly, you, my fellow X-markers have that distinction.
You're fast too.

Thanks,
Joe

So on to the next question.

In reviewing the pictures I notice Archibald MacIntosh is wearing a vest that appears more like a sleeveless coat. It looks longer than the other vests and has piping on the lower pockets, almost tashlike. He is also wearing his belt over it like it was a doublet. The buttons on it also seem to go off up the right side instead of being centered.

Can anyone tell me more about this garment? Am I just looking at it too hard?

Thanks,
Joe

Observations seem to be spot on -- and he seems to also be wearing a cravat in his tartan, most likely in silk, if I had to guess.

If you look underneath the doublet of the gentleman next to him, it would seem as if he were wearing a similarly styled waistcoat.
