The Highlanders of Scotland

[Jock Scot]

Here's what one might call a more realistic look at every day rural highland wear during the later half of the 19th century /early 20th century:



the image is of Donald MacDonald, Kinagarry, Arisaig, photographed by Miss M E M Donaldson about 1900-1910. He is dressed in tattered re-made garments representing the twilight of tartan as everyday wear of Highlanders
(from TARTAN by Hugh Cheape).

What a super picture and far nearer the actual fact than those figments of imagination of Victorian times!
