King George V (1865-1936) in Highland Ceremonial Military Attire, circa 1910s This portrait captures King George V in full regalia of the Highland ceremonial military dress during the early 1900s. The monarch, who reigned from 1910 until his death in 1936, is depicted with a regal and commanding presence, donning the traditional Scottish attire with pride and distinction. The King's ensemble consists of a red tartan jacket adorned with intricate gold and silver embellishments, a sash slung across his chest, and a sporran hanging from his waist. The sash, known as the "Royal and Ancient Gordon of Scotland," is a symbol of his position as the Chief of the Clan Gordon. The King's chest is adorned with an impressive array of military medals, signifying his various achievements and titles. The half-length portrait, taken by renowned photographer Grenville Collins, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the Scottish Highlands during the early 20th century. King George V's commitment to preserving and promoting Scottish traditions is evident in his meticulous attention to detail in this traditional Highland dress. The portrait serves as a testament to the King's deep connection to his Scottish heritage and his dedication to honoring its proud and storied past.
