BIOG: Douglas Gilmour (1889-1916), the fifth and youngest son of the photographer and Sir John Gilmour, 1st baronet of Lundin and Montrave; died of wounds received in action during World War I. Seen with his sister, Henrietta (1884-1962), younger daughter of the family; married Robert Purvis of Gilmerton, youngest son of John Purvis of Kinaldy, in 1904.
It's been pointed out that there is a discrepancy between the date of the photo (ca.1891) & the apparent age of the child in the kilt. There is no way he's 2 yrs of age. A more likely guess would be around 6 yrs of age, putting the photo around ca.1897
