But I am not sure that it's Macdonald of Ardnamurchan on the photo.
Question - what kind of MacDonald tartan? For me this tartan looks like Macdonald dress.
Dear figheadair , what do You think?
I don't know what book this is from (do tell) but it's wrong. It's not the 13th (Fife/Perthsire) RV but Corporal Angus Cameron of the 6th Inverness Rifles c.1869. Here are a couple more of him. He had some local fame at the time having twice won the Queen's Prize at the National Rifle Meeting of volunteers.
