    What about the tartan 'trews?
  • derangedlemur said:
    The tartan trousers makes them lowlanders. Highlanders all had kilts. Hat man appears to be antipodean - I don't think anyone else got a slouch hat. He also appears to be wearing cavalry trousers. Puttees were gone by 1940.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Are you sure it's not just some gang of lads living rough and dressed in army surplus?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    derangedlemur If you look at the linked set, you'll see a load of tents and horses, all military style.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur Very sure! Have a look at the other photos in the series, especially this one which looks like a cavalry detachment.

    Although making carpets in Donegal is an ancient tradition, the company Donegal Carpets is but 100 odd years old and was founded in 1898 by Scottish textile manufacturer Alexander Morton. Before establishing Donegal Carpets, Morton had first established a carpet crafting house on the west coast of Ireland and put to practice the techniques of the Donegal people who had been working with wool for generations. The first example of a Donegal carpet with Celtic designs was that carried out for the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for their offices at the Cork Exhibition in 1902. There is another earlier example, a small Celtic-ornamented altar carpet, a Morton's gift to the St Eunan's Cathedral, Letterkenny County ,Donegal, which was opened in June 1901.The altar carpet was designed by Signor Oreste Amici, a roman painter, who carried out the Celtic ornamental painting in the St Columba Chapel in 1900. The Mortons sold the company to a consortium called Donegal Carpets Ltd. in 1957. There were four manufacturing houses at one time in County Donegal but three of the four facilities closed during The Great Depression and in 1987 the last facility closed. Local Donegal people petitioned the government to help re-open them in 1997 and in 1999 they were making carpets again for places such as Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Castle and the University of Notre Dame.
