One kilt, several looks. A canny Scot's take.

Odd, there's no John Campbell in either of my two copies of HOS.

There's Colin Campbell, who has his bottom button done, as you can see

I took a look at my copy and discovered that there are two versions of this plate. Colin & John Campbell, shown here:-



And Colin Campbell and an unkown Argyll man, shown here:-



The accompanying text in my copy is as follows.

"Colin Campbell and a Breadalbane clansman. Signed and dated 1867

Colin Campbell wears Campbell or Government Tartan, the Black Watch. The other, unidentified, figure wears the uniform of the 3rd Perthshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, and a kilt of Campbell of Breadalbane tartan. The watercolour shows what is probably a unique contemporary illustration of the muzzle-loading Enfield rifle. The background is possibly a view of Loch Fyne. This watercolour was sent to the Duchess of Athole on 14th October 1867 by MacLeay. He had drawn the Breadalbane man at Aberfeldy and the Duke of Argyll's man at Inverary. Perhaps the Queen did not approve of the sitter's second portrait. In the lithograph he was removed from the composition and another Breadalbane man, John Campbell (see p 14) replaced him. The Rifle Volunteer man was coachman of the Aberfeldy and Callander coach, and had only been able to give MacLeay short sittings on alternate days, which had caused 'a good deal of delay'."

My copy is by Haggerston Press, dated 1986. Which version does your copy contain?
