Ghillie brogues, yes or no?

[DWFII]

being new to the board don't like to be a pain but a quick search and I found this which is a picture from 1869 quite clearly shows the figure on the right wearing gillie's

That's great! I stand corrected. And, lo and behold, the two on the left are wearing Mary Janes...although the date is 1869--somewhat late for the buckle shoes I was talking about but no matter.

Thanks for posting that picture.

PS. What's the source for that painting/picture?

I just did a search on John Brown (Queen Victoria)
