The painting was not on display when I visited in 1983. The pulled it out of storage and allowed to take detailed photographs. Figheadair was able to recreate the tartan, if I'm not mistaken
Pryse Campbell, Portrait by Francis Cotes, date (I don't know, mid-18th C) Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pryse_Campbell
I also surreptitiously got a photo of this portrait at Cawdor Castle.
Curious as an aside in the NatWest text it states his background implies he was Jacobite. Wasthis just an assumption as his family name implies to me he was unlikely to be a jacobite or is there something else that implies this?
