Here is the Address of the Vintage Thread

Certainly. I'll try to go through all the photos and see which ones have already been posted. May take a bit to sort through them all as I'm out in the country where there is no DSL service and dial-up connections are impossibly slow.

I just went through it the photos of John Brown are there as well as some others of him, a fine looking Highlander was he. As well the Ghillies at Balmoral are there as is Douglas Hamilton. Really it is the first set that would be of the greatest interest.

I'll be glad to post those there then.

I love the photos. Thank you so much for posting them. I'm a complete fan of the older style so tae speak. If you have more, please, certainly post them.

Because the Vintage thread is photos only, and no chatting (makes it easier to get to all the photos when you're looking through all the pages, so it's a good rule), I just wanted to say here how much I appreciate folks posting these vintage photos for us. I love to look at them, so yes yes yes... thanks for adding to that thread, everyone!

I agree! *** Cynthia

Twa_corbies -- would love to see pictures of the bronze statues with seeming box-pleats... thanks for sharing the photos.

I'll have to get a new memory card for my digital camera so I can post some showing the backs of the kilts and the sculpture by Montgomerie. These two are after the originals sculpted by Pierre Jules Mene in the mid 1800's.
