    Renton's Drapery was destroyed by fire in 1909. The site was rebuild for another drapers, C&A Modes, which in turn was destroyed by fire in 1955 - The Great Fire of Princes Street.

    Interesting. I don't understand the mention of Sir Iain Colquhoun DSO, which was listed as being received in 1916.

    But it's true that, in the 1916-1921 window implied in the text, the costumes depicted are quite out of date, and fit the pre-1909 date better.
