EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the essence of Scottish heritage and tradition, featuring a proud and noble Lamont clan member dressed in his full Highland regalia. The image is taken from "The Highland Clans of Scotland Vol. 1," published in 1923, and showcases the intricate details and rich history of Scottish clan costumes. The Lamont clan, one of the oldest and most distinguished families in Scotland, is represented here by a man dressed in the traditional attire of his ancestors. The tartan plaid, a symbol of Scottish identity and pride, is wrapped around his waist and draped over his shoulders, fastened with a brooch or "great ring" at the left shoulder. The plaid is complemented by a white linen shirt, known as a "waistcoat," and a red woolen tunic, or "jacket," adorned with silver buttons and intricate embroidery. The man wears a black sporran, a pouch worn at the waist, which is suspended from a thick leather belt. His legs are covered by a pair of woolen hose, held up by garters, and his feet are protected by black ghillie brogues, traditional Scottish leather shoes with laces that extend up the leg. A sgian dubh, or black knife, is tucked into his hose, a practical and symbolic accessory for the Scottish Highlander. The man's bonnet, or "balmoral," is a tall, round hat with a flat crown and a cockade of feathers, representing the clan's tartan colors. His face is framed by a thick, bushy beard, and his piercing gaze conveys a sense of strength, resilience, and unwavering loyalty to his clan and his heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Scottish Highland clans and their rich cultural traditions, which continue to captivate and inspire people around the world.
