Sorry to say that I don't have any to add, but I like those a lot! Think you could add some more?

Don't suppose you've found any of Macfie (MacDuffy, McPhee etc.)?

The MacMillan one looks fierce! No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem (provided the sword is sharp enough!)

Here's an old postcard I have, showing a piper from some unknown regiment (the back of the card just says, "Birthday Greetings!"). It looks like mid- to late-nineteenth century, and the white jacket indicates some tropical location, I suppose - probably India:

Wow, those are wonderful illustrations! Thanks for sharing

I especially like the Irish poster, as I am somewhat obsessed with Ireland.

Beautiful stuff. Such heroic-looking fellas!

Thanks for the collection!

Could anyone tell me the names of the artists who painted these? I think I'm going to have to look at more of their work!

The first three, and the MacDuff and MacPherson, come from a book that I have a copy of. I contains around 40 plates, and I think recent printings are available. There are a number of titles it goes by, including
"The Clans and Tartans of Scotland" and "The Clans of the Scottish Highlands" by James Logan and Robert Ronald McIan. I think the book was originally published in the 1800's.
