A Great Photo of My Kilted G-G Grandfather

What!!?? An historic picture of a non-American, non-piper in a Glengarry cap? How can this be??

Only kidding, of course. I'm very fond of the Glengarry and wear one myself; however, you hear people say this is only for soldiers, pipers, or Americans who don't know any better. Thanks for sharing the great photo!

Well said, Padre!

I would suggest that he is probably an old soldier, and that he is probably wearing his old military glengarry and kilt.

Just a thought

Aye, but I have seen a number of photos from the 19th century of civilians wearing glengarries.

Thanks for all of the comments. It is a great picture that I do indeed treasure.

I have one other photo of the old boy wearing the same Glengarry, but this time in ... gasp ... pants.

I agree! That's going to be my story, and I'm sticking to it!
