    Cameron of Locheil - some help needed

    At the prompting of a pal I'm working on a short article on the Cameron of Lochiel tartan which is one of those generally thought to be a Jacobite era sett but...........

    At the moment I'm trying to get to get things in order and wonder if any of the rabble can confirm (fact not fiction please) the origins of a couple of portraits. There are three portraits of the Gentle Lochiel each of which has been claimed to be by Sir George Chalmers and whilst they show similarities all are unique and there can only be one .

    So, who can help with these two?

    I have been unable to find a colour version of this and wonder if in fact it was an engraved print? It is not the portrait owned by Lochiel at Achnacarry but is clearly based on it. Anyone know the source?

    There is something naive about this painting which I suspect is C19th, probably Victorian. Anyone know the source and where it is now?
