I wonder if AGB was ever photographed in a kilt?
If I remember also he was an ancestor of the founders of National Geographic !
I believe his father-in-law founded the NGS and Bell susceeded him as president. He later contributed to many thing including aeronatics and hydroplane and metal detector to find the bullet of US President James Garfield.
Although us Canadians claim him and the telephone, he certainly was a very rescoureful Scot he made many a contributions both north and south of the border.
