Some old pictures that were sent to me, don't know the era they were worn.

An awkward young lad in number 1. A bit self conscious and growing out of his jacket. Maybe a WW I picture taken as a keepsake by the soldier/father as he went off to war. The three things he loved - wife, son and dog.

I am sure we have seen number 2 before. I believe that the consensus was that it was not genuinely old. Something about the two different tartans and his stance.

Number three looks to have a tweed kilt.

The one I like the most is number 3. The hat upon his head stands up quite a bit compared to most that are seen today. I cannot tell if that is a feather sticking up. Also noticed the sporran riding lower than what is common today as well as the shoes/boots he is wearing. The hose are killer, that patter is cool.

In relation to the boots, one of my old mates, who has never worn a kilt before, turned up in a pair to go to a gathering with us. These are R M Williams riding boots.

I really liked the look.

Looks like it's by R. Brown of Inverurie near Aberdeen Scotland.

It looks like you must have helped dressing him! It is indeed a distinguished "country" look.
