Harold,
Thank you posting such an interesting photo, which was obviously taken at Drumossie Moor (Culloden) - perhaps during the memorial service in 2009? I am unsure who the gentlemen are (I don't recognise their faces), but they are obviously Macphersons. Yes, the chap on 'our' right is rather dapper, however his style of waistcoat is not for me and seems too 'costumey' for day attire. Of course, that is simply my opinion.
I do like the scarlet laces in his ghillie brogues (which compliment both the scarlet in the Macpherson 'hunting' tartan and his waistcoat), his sporran is smart, superb hose and his jacket ensemble looks great. I am not a fan of the black rosettes on the front apron, though I do like the look of rosettes when worn with Highland evening attire. The chap on 'our' left appears as if he is stuck in two different centuries in regards to his attire/costume? Hmmm, I'm confused about him. Again, this is all simply my opinion.
Thanks again,
