Trews as traditional Highland dress?

Great images, Puffer, thanks! Looking at the red jacket that the younger fellow is wearing I would put them at some time in the 18th century

The images are from RR McIan - http://www.rrmcian.com/pages/index.htm

In one of the books that I've read-maybe the History of the Scottish People, the author states that those who could afford trews wore them.
Take it for what it's worth........one certainly wouldn't want to spend too much time on a horse wearing a kilt, me thinks

Thank you, I lost this site, so I could not cite the source.

I find that second painting to be fascinating Puffer. Look at the woman behind the cello player. I swear she's wearing a green Dress Milne tartan. Compare it with this dancer (3rd in from the right).
