The copy of the publication I have is from 1983, however I believe the original was published in 1845. It is probably one of my favourite books on Highland dress purely due to the fantastic Balmoralised view it presents of the history of Highland dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6510419322126448913623ac/27f3db0f-c22c-435b-9066-cd5a7ea01ece/IMG_3965.jpeg Blog - Tartan and ‘Highland’ dress - Make it stand out This table took me absolutely ages to compile.

In MacIan’s world, both ladies wear striped woollen fabric, not checkered tartan fabric. I find this image absolutely fascinating; you’ve got a lady based on a 17th century description of female Highland dress (by Martin Martin), yet she’s got a mid 19th century boy holding on to her. I think I have figured out who the boy and the lady represent in MacIan’s thought process.
