macleay paintings, then and now

Nice catch BREN. I have an old photo of a gentleman wearing a similar jacket. It too has only the first button buttoned exposing his sporran and waistcoat. A good look I thought. Nice boots he is wearing as-well.

I notice that in this last picture (the grey one with the man with a black beard) the man's jacket (if allowed for full-buttoning) would extend lower than today's kilt jackets and partially cover his sporran.
