1. Title: "Duncan of Robertson in Traditional Scottish Clan Costume" This image showcases Duncan of Robertson proudly wearing the traditional attire of the Scottish Highland Clans. Dating back to the early 20th century, this photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and heritage of Scotland's ancient clans. The Duncan of Robertson, a respected member of his clan, dons the full Highland regalia, including a kilt made of tartan fabric in the Robertson clan's distinctive pattern. His plaid is draped over his shoulder and secured with a brooch known as a "garter brooch," which holds the plaid in place. A white shirt, or "waistcoat," is worn beneath the kilt, and a pair of hose covers his legs. Accessories adorned with intricate silver and gold detailing complete his outfit. A sporran, a traditional Scottish pouch worn suspended from the waist, hangs at his hip. A sgian-dubh, or black knife, is tucked into his kilt hose. A silver collar necklace, or "collar brooch," and a silver ring adorn his neck, while a silver buckle on his belt adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble. Duncan's head is crowned with a tam o'shanter, a traditional Scottish cap with a pom-pom on the top. His face is framed by a full beard, adding to his regal and imposing appearance. The image captures the essence of the Scottish Highlander, embodying both the strength and pride of the ancient clans. This photograph, taken from "The Highland Clans of Scotland Vol. 1" published in 1923 by Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scottish clans and their traditional clothing. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Scotland today.
