There are several other paintings in the MacIan series that show a similar style of cockade:

MacDonald of Glencoe
MacDonald of Keppoch
Clanranald (MacDonald)

And a couple of more:

Yup, you're absolutely right. I didn't want to go overboard with my post.

Here's another good link for viewing R. McIan prints.

McIan's Highland Clans

[Blu (Ontario)]

This sort of thing has come up at least once before. Whether or not they are worth anything to an antiques dealer, they are precious family heirlooms. I trust you're keeping them safe from the nasty things that might want to have them for lunch. Very nice items to have and wonderful memorabilia to pass along to your own grandkids.

Great stuff!!!!

I never really saw the bows on the blackwatch kilts before, of course I never had a need nor desire to look before. Again, this forum provides interesting and useful info.

Also, thanks for the MacIan link.

I guess this isn't the waste of time my wife thinks it is!!!

Right now they are kept in ziplock bags until I can afford a nice glass display case. The kind of case that keeps the air out..... I know exactly what you mean.
