Thank you! I'm not certain what distinction (if any) there is between the léine and the ordinary long shirt worn in the early 18th century. Do you know anything about the color or material of the shirts/léinte worn by the Lewis and Shetland bodies? Also, is the plaid or cloak worn by the Caithness body tartan or solid color? I can't make out any tartan from the photograph. I note that none of these 18th century men appear to have been "redshanks".
