Alas again sadly no info for this dashing man in a kilt, with a lovely smile.

A scottish rave! š āReturn of the āTulloch Reelā

Hereās another scan, a postcard of a beautiful kilted Scotsman I bought 10 years ago when I visited Dunvegan Castle in Skye. This is Reginald MacLeod in 1897, the 27th Chief of Clan MacLeod. I also have no idea why it came out so blue, the original isnāt blue tinted (phthalocyanine, fact fans – I have done that procedure) as it suggest here. I donāt think like the last picture this is on the net – exclusive! as they say.

I said Iād scan the pictures of Victorian-era kilts on my wall – hereās Clan Chieftain, 1860. I own this print, although itās a modern reprint., and I suspect itās new to the internets. I bought it in Scotland nearly 10 years ago in Skye.

Serenading a penguin
Piper Kerr serenading a penguin, 25 March 1904. Image from the second voyage of William Speirs Bruceās Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. āBruce dressed up Gilbert Kerr, the shipās piper, in full Highland gear and got him out on the ice and produced a penguin,ā said David Munro, [of the Scottish Royal Geographical Society]. āThe idea was they were going to play it jigs, strathspeys, reels, slow marches, etc, and see if the penguin had any reaction. “It stood unmoved. Of course, itās largely unmoved because itās tied to the foot of the piper.ā

Finally! A decent picture of a kilt from this era. I must scan and post some of the postcards of āhighland chieftainsā in kilts I have on my wall. This apparently is HRH Henry of Battenberg, son-in-law of Queen Victoria.
