It seems as Victorian era went on, the kilts and paraphernalia got more and more ornate…

Wonderful pic!
BEARDED MAN in KILT ERIDGE SUSSEX GEO. HOWARD (by photoidhelp)

Oh looky here…there seems to be other photos from that session in 1860 – the other one I scanned and posted earlier.
-
No information about this one, apart from it was taken in Ballarat, Australia but a break from the nauticality for some more kilty goodness!
-
This man would do very well on the bear scene today…just saying!
-
Alas again sadly no info for this dashing man in a kilt, with a lovely smile.

Here’s 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 isn’t blue tinted (phthalocyanine, fact fans – I have done that procedure) as it suggest here. I don’t think like the last picture this is on the net – exclusive! as they say.

I said I’d scan the pictures of Victorian-era kilts on my wall – here’s Clan Chieftain, 1860. I own this print, although it’s a modern reprint., and I suspect it’s 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 Bruce’s Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. “Bruce dressed up Gilbert Kerr, the ship’s piper, in full Highland gear and got him out on the ice and produced a penguin,” said David Munro, [of the Scottish Royal Geographical Society]. “The 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, it’s largely unmoved because it’s tied to the foot of the piper.”
