Todd, you might contact Hudsons Bay Archives for more information https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/.
Most of the HBC employees were Lowlanders, Orkneymen and Quebecers, so unlikely there would be kilts among them. They did sell blue bonnets with red touries through their stores after amalgamation; I was present when an original 1872 case of them was opened at Fort Langley in British Columbia years ago. The NWCo was comprised mainly of Highlanders under Partner William Mcgillivray who was born at Dunlichity, not too far from my home.
Can you identify the portrait for us?
