    Folks, this thread has been going on for five years now.
    In that time I have had 11 complaints of the use of copyrighted photos without permission or due credit given to the source. I received two more complaints today.

    I know and understand that this was a very popular thread. All that was asked was that those who troll the web searching for interesting photos give due credit where credit is due. Unfortunately this simple request does not seem to have been heeded.

    I'm very sorry but I am going to have to shut this thread down.

    Dressed-down kilt: Wales, 1952

    Previously posted...

    From the National Library of Wales,


    Models wearing a tartan skirt and kilt,
    Dinas Mawddwy Woollen Factory, 1 May 1952

    I note the tucked in sweater vest and pushed down hose on the lad.
    The lass bears a resemblance to my mother from the same period.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    Many believe the Solid Colour kilt to be a modern interpretaion. This photo is a fine example of a less "traditional" kilt being worn mich earlier than many believed.

    It isn't solid colour...look closely and you will see that it is tartan.

    this photo is dated 1878, the man's name Willie Duff from Dunkeld, after a dram or two I bet he could tell a tale



    1891 see's wee Douglas and Netta Gilmour fishing



    Dancing The Reel of Tulloch in 1883



    With Maiden Pap and Morven in the background an unamed ghillie 1935

    1863 Prince Alfred



    and finally to 1935 boys on their way to school on the Isle of Arran




    I know I said "and finally" but I just think old Willie is fantastic, here is another photo of him


    End quoted material.
