Old pictures of men in kilts

I was in Scotland nearly 10 years ago (Sept 2001, yes during that time) and I picked up some old prints/postcards of men in kilts, as you do. So I've scanned and posted these over at Retire To The Parlour but thought y'all might like these too:

Here’s another picture, a postcard of a beautiful kilted Scotsman I bought 10 years ago when I visited Dunvegan Castle in Skye. This is Reginald MacLeod in 1897, the 27th Chief. I also have no idea why it came out so blue, the original isn’t blue tinted (phthalocyanine, fact fans -  I have done that procedure) as it suggest here.

Researching for the whole Tumblr thing I've noticed how many suprisingly cheap prints and photos esp, Carte de Visite there are out there...tempted to start collecting ;-)
