Not kilt related, me in the 1800s.

One of my favorite paintings. I am slowly building a unform to match this highlander.

I LOVE that painting! That is just wonderful!

[Mr. MacDougall]

Mostly a comment on the text below the image -- the MacDougall in my ancestry comes from a fellow who came to North America after being on the losing side at Culloden. He eventually married himself a Cherokee lass, and settled in the area where North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia come together. If you look closely, you'll find that the Eastern Cherokee Nation is still there, in western North Carolina -- but they're not anywhere near as strong and populous as they once were.

Unless, of course, you count all us white boys who are descended in part from them.

That is doable, not cheap, but doable.

It is MUCH harder to replicate a PARTICULAR illustration than a more "general" idea. However, the completed product is usually VERY cool.

So, where/what group do you work with?

I am hoping to get involved with the Darien Highlanders out of Savannah, Georgia.

I've always thought that this was adaptable:

...or since they seem to be made as they're ordered, I'd think that Townsend might be able to customize a bit if asked.

You look pretty good for being around since the 1800's (he says with a grin)

I am involved with a historical reenactment society. We have 4 or 5 fellows of highland descent among the group. I am slowly getting the proper items. Next comes the shoes and we are lucky to have one of the best in Canada. Robert Land makes wonderful shoes. I am still trying to decide between a Feilidh-beag and a Feileadh-Mhor. I should get both:-).

Looking good. I am sure the highlander uniform you are building will be more comfortable than the tyrannic trousers in the first pic.
