Livery coloured cockade on bonnet

[creagdhubh]

Several of these fellows seem to be wearing the same pattern in their tweed jackets. Is that a clan pattern also and, excuse my ignorance, is that also traditional and common?

It's Macpherson of Cluny's Tweed, originally designed and manufactured by Hugh Macpherson, of Hugh Macpherson, Ltd. (Highland Dress) in Haymarket, Edinburgh in the 1960s. Many members of the Clan Macpherson, to include Cluny, wear this tweed in the form of a kilt jacket and waistcoat. The tweed has similar bits of colour as the Hunting Macpherson tartan, by far THE most popular tartan amongst the clan, and was the original inspiration behind the tweed. The tweed isn't restricted to Macphersons only; however, I have never seen anyone BUT a Macpherson wearing it! The tweed can only be purchased at Hugh Macpherson's shop in Edinburgh, now owned and operated by Hugh's granddaughter.
