    Or it may be a silver fox? I know that Amelia MacGregor has a detailed explanation of what each Highlander is wearing, yet I don't have my copy of Delia Millar's, The Highlanders of Scotland in front of me at the moment, so I can't say for sure. I do know that the Mackintosh lads painted by MacLeay and featured in the book are indeed wearing sporrans made of silver fox pelts.
