‘Col. Walter Campbell [of] Skipness’
Notes:
A carte-de-visite portrait of a Scotsman with a gun. An inscription on the page of the album that this came from identified the sitter as ‘Col. Walter Campbell [of] Skipness’. The portrait comes from album compiled by the Campbells of Islay. Colonel Walter Campbell was the ‘foster-brother’ of John Campbell of Islay, according to the latter’s obituary in the Times (19 February 1885), and at his death, replaced him as Deputy Ranger of Windsor Park.
