Another Culloden Era Coat
Following a lead I pick up during the week I arranged a visit to a private house today to view what was allegedly the tartan coat that had belonged to a member of Prince Charles Edward's staff. I fully expected to be presented with a Regency jacket that the family tradition said had been worn by your know who. What I found astounded me; a beautiful and previously unknown mid-18th century hard tartan riding coat, one of only two or three that survive. It's going to take me some time to study it in detail but here's a taster. Notice with stylistic similarity with the Coat from Culloden.
