I suppose you could be particular and ask when were the pipes actually played in combat, rather than in a combat zone...

Those photos are amazing. Colonel Lochiel just looks like... well, like he'd throttle you easily if you crossed him. I can only hope to look that cool when I'm older.

Is there any other way, Trefor? I have been mowing my lawns kilted for the past 9½ years.
By the way, has anyone noticed how badly worn/damaged Lord Lovat's kilt was? Maybe he had a contretemps with his mower!
Take care,
Ham.

Derek, I heartily concur!
When I showed my wife that photo, and shared your comment with her, she observed that might be the reason why the photographer didn't get any closer!
And I know well that look you mean; my old Gram used to call it looking "ready to chase a bear up a tree with a switch"!

Wonderful photos Rex, Lord Lovat's kilt may be worn, however I'm not sure I'd say anything about it.

In this and other photos of Colonel Lochiel, it appears that he is wearing a non-tartan tweed kilt suit of the sort that Rocky will make for me some day.
Actually, his kilt is in a very faded version of the Cameron tartan, which does tend to look solid in B&W photography. In another thread recently, there was a color picture posted where you could see the tartan, however.

Matt the "colour" photo posted was touched up in photobucket, I would not be so sure that those are the true colours.
