Dog and bagpiper, Bowen, 1921

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  THE HISTORY BEHIND THE HIGHLAND WEAR The history behind this type of dress, especially the kilt, is kind of interesting and engrained in some very historical events. An example is the “Dress Act,” which was enacted in 1746 by King George II. Under this rule of law, King George II outlawed a kilt-wearing a kilt, claiming that it represented revolt and unruliness by the Scottish people.

Unidentified Scotsman of the Caledonian Society at Warwick

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Warwick Caledonian Society is the oldest society of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and given that Warwick was established as a town in 1847, a 150-year milestone is a great achievement. Our band spent Saturday wowing crowds who had gathered from near and far to celebrate the Scottish culture. Source: scotspgc.newzletter.com.au/newsletters/scots-pgc-college-...

  Wikipedia on General Sir Ian Standish Monteith Hamilton, who is most remembered for "commanding the ill-fated Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the Battle of Gallipoli."

  www.stepneyrobarts.co.uk/457.htm has a longish biographical piece and a copy of an oil painting portrait. His papers are at King's College, London. www.kingscollections.org/catalogues/lhcma/collection/f-j/...

  Pictured in the very colorful full dress uniform of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.

  It looks to me like this portrait was taken at the same time as the one on the right, only he is holding his plumed helmet in this one.

  Thanks to all of you for your great research. We'll fill in the caption the next time we update.

• Heraldic Tyger said:

  This photograph must date between 1900 when he was made a KCB (see star and neck badge) and 1910 when he was made a GCB. In fact it probably can be narrowed further, he was on secondment to the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) which is presumably when he was given the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure 1st Class (sash and breast star).
