Laird's Plaid & Tweed Jacket - Puffer

[muirkirkca]

I have a small hand coloured drawing of a g-g grandfather wearing a bonnet and with a plaid draped over his shoulder. He was a shepherd before coming to Canada in the mid-1800s. Appears that the plaid had a utilitarian role as mentioned by Puffer and was not confined to the well to do.

If my memory serves, in the painting 'Lochaber no more' by J W Nichol the man is wearing a plaid wrapped around his jacket.
