In the words of Victorian author Amelia Murray MacGregor:
William Macdonald (b. 1843). Wearing the tartan of the Duke of Rothesay, one of the titles of the Prince of Wales, and formal dress, with elaborate shoe buckles and tiepin, and cap-badge with the Scottish crest and oak foliage. The banner is embroidered with the arms of the Prince of Wales. In the background is seen Abergeldie Castle. A forty year lease of the Castle had been acquired for the Prince in 1848, and the house had recently been enlarged when this drawing was made. The painting of this watercolour was arranged and probably paid for by the Prince of Wales. [William MacDonald was HRH The Prince of Waless Piper].
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this print will be donated to The Scottish Tartans Authority.
