EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, showcases the traditional Scottish clan costume of the Campbells of Breadalbane. The image transports us back in time to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Scottish Highlands. The Campbell of Breadalbane, a prominent and ancient Scottish clan, is represented here by a proud and distinguished figure dressed in the full regalia of his clan's tartan. The tartan, a distinctive pattern of crisscrossed stripes in various shades of green, blue, and black, is a symbol of the Campbell clan's proud heritage and identity. The man wears a kilt made of this tartan fabric, which is pleated and secured at the waist by a belt called a sgian-dubh or "black knife." The kilt is accompanied by a sporran, a pouch worn suspended from the belt, which holds various essentials such as a knife, tobacco, and a small amount of money. The Campbell of Breadalbane also wears a plaid, a large piece of tartan fabric draped over the shoulder and fastened at the left shoulder with a brooch called a brooch of gaelic knots. The plaid is worn with the ends hanging down the back, and the man's right arm is tucked inside, creating a distinctive and iconic look. The man's shirt is white, and he wears a black waistcoat and a red jacket, both adorned with silver buttons. A red and black tartan sash is draped over his left shoulder, and a black bonnet, or cabaret, sits atop his head. This photograph is a beautiful and evocative reminder of the rich history and traditions of the Scottish Highlands and the clans that call it home. The Campbell of Breadalbane, with his proud bearing and traditional attire, embodies the strength, pride, and resilience of the Scottish people, and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Scotland's past.
