I'd say that it's deinitely fancy dress of the photgrapher's studio rather than something owned by your family. Relatively few people own a Highland outfit in the 1860s and those that did would have been relatively wealthy. This sort of image was becoming increasingly common as a means of individuals referencing where they came from, especially when leaving Scotland for pastures new.
