In the words of Victorian author, Amelia Murray MacGregor:
James Sutherland, Adam Sutherland and Neil Mackay: Signed and dated 1868. Sergeant James Sutherland wears the uniform of the 3rd Sutherland Rifle Volunteers and, like Adam Sutherland, wears the clan tartan. The latter carries bagpipes. MacKay wears plaid and kilt of his clan tartan. He has a sword with a unusual basket hilt with a square hole in the side plate. In the background is shown Ben Laoghail (Loyal) with the Kyle of Tongue, Sutherland. These men were paid their expenses while they were sitting to MacLeay at Tongue and Brora.
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this print will be donated to The Scottish Tartans Authority.
