EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time circa 1902, showcasing the skilled tailors of the Gordon Highlanders regiment hard at work in the barrack-yard at Aberdeen. The image depicts a group of Scottish soldiers diligently crafting traditional kilts, a symbol of their proud heritage and military identity.
The scene is bustling with activity as the tailors sit outdoors, focused on their meticulous sewing tasks. The sound of stitching machines fills the air as they expertly handle tartan textiles, ensuring each kilt meets the high standards expected by the regiment.
Despite the seriousness of their work, there is a sense of camaraderie among these men as they take pride in creating garments that represent their shared history and traditions. Some can be seen leisurely smoking pipes, adding to the nostalgic charm of this snapshot from over a century ago.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and craftsmanship required to outfit soldiers in uniform attire. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when clothing was not just functional but also carried deep cultural significance for those who wore it with honor and pride.
