Robert Grant of Lurg

[figheadair]

Four versions of the portrait of Robert Grant of Lurg, erstwhile Sergeant in one of the Highland Independent Companies (HIC). The Old Cullen portriat is likely to be the oldest.

The similarity of the tartan with the 42nd sett is obvious and allowing for artisitic licence/error is pretty convincing evidence for the use of the Government tartan by the HICs. Not sure the source of the Inveray red setting which is obviously very different to the other portraits.
