EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional Scottish clan costume as worn by a member of the Ogilvie clan. The image is taken from "The Highland Clans of Scotland Vol. 2," published in 1923 by Mary Evans Picture Library. The Ogilvie clan, with its historic seat at Airlie Castle in Angus, Scotland, is one of the oldest and most distinguished Highland clans. The man in the photograph wears the full regalia of the Ogilvie tartan, which is characterized by its rich red, black, and gold colors. The kilt, made of the clan's distinctive woolen fabric, is worn with a white linen shirt, a red waistcoat, and a black sporran. The traditional brooch, known as the "Lord Ogilvy's Badge," is pinned to the left side of his waistcoat. The man completes his attire with a pair of black stockings, gartered at the knee, and black leather shoes. The photograph also showcases the man's bonnet, or "feileadh mòr," which is a tall, cylindrical hat adorned with a black cock feather. The bonnet is an essential part of the traditional Scottish Highland dress, and its height and shape are meant to represent the mountains and peaks of the Scottish landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Scottish Highlands and the clans that call it home. The Ogilvie clan, with its proud heritage and distinctive tartan, is a testament to the enduring spirit of Scotland's past. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a place of history, culture, and tradition.
