Not sure if I posted this alternative picture of HRH Henry of Battenburg, and son-in-law of Queen Victoria – the other picture is still the wallpaper on my phone, has been for years. This is the epitomy of style to me.

From XMarks The Scot forum:
“The child in the photo (with his father) is Wilhelm II of Germany … later to be Emperor Wilhelm II during World War I (whilst his relatives ‘King George V’ of the UK and ‘Czar Nicholas II’ of Russia were also grand-children of Queen Victoria against Germany during WWI – the same years in which King George V formed the Windsor family to replace the German family name ” “Saxe-Coburg and Gotha” )“ -
I know this is a repost of the lovely yet sadly doomed Henry of Battenberg in a kilt – any excuse – but I’ve ordered an Argyll kilt jacket in the same tweed (hopefully – damn those black and white pictures!) which will be arriving in 4-5 weeks. I’ve always loved this combo.
Next stop will be a high-necked waistcoat in the same, if they can do that cut. Oh and I need a cap – my breton cap went AWOL *sigh*

Scottish dancing, apparently near Loch Eck? Via XMarksTheScot, a wonderful kilt forum. I hope I haven’t reposted this before – I think not.
