HOS revisited: 1860s Day Dress

[MacMillans son]

The gentleman is George MacDonald, Bunacaimb, Morar, also photographed by Miss M E M Donaldson about 1910. The caption of the photo (from the book Tartan by Hugh Cheape) reads:

"It was unusual for country folk to possess Highland dress of such quality, but as a successful piper (MacDonald) had the wardrobe compulsory for competition piping in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Thanks Terry.

Another example of how the photo, watercolor, or what have you is often times not the whole story, but rather, something that needs to be seen in context to really be understood.

Thanks again.
