EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the early Victorian era of the 1840s in the Scottish Highlands. The subject of the photograph is a proud Scotsman, clad in the traditional attire of his clan, Skene. The Skene tartan, as depicted in this print, is a stunning display of intricate weaving, with its distinctive green, blue, and yellow pattern. The man's kilt, meticulously pleated, is accentuated by a pair of fitted, high-waisted trousers, worn beneath for practicality in the cool Highland climate. His upper body is covered by a fitted, long-sleeved shirt, the collar of which is peeking out from under the tartan waistcoat. The waistcoat, in turn, is adorned with an elegant, gold brooch, symbolizing his clan affiliation. A crisp, white, collared shirt, tucked into the waistcoat, adds a touch of refinement. The man's head is crowned with a tam o' Shanter, a traditional Scottish hat, complete with a prominent, feathered sporran bobbin. His hands are covered by leather gloves, a practical accessory for the cold weather. The overall effect is one of both ruggedness and elegance, encapsulating the spirit of the Scottish clansman during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Scottish Highlands during the 1840s, a time when the tartan tradition was in its prime. It serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted heritage and pride that continues to thrive among the Scots to this day.
