EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Scottish military history - the Presentation of Colours to the Gordon Highlanders by the Prince of Wales at Braikley, near Balmoral, on 18 September. The image showcases a significant event that took place in 1899, as illustrated for The Illustrated London News. In this scene, we see members of the royal family and distinguished military personnel gathered together. The Duke of York (later King George V) stands tall alongside General Chapman and other high-ranking officials. Surrounding them are officers from the Gordon Highlanders regiment, proudly displaying their traditional tartan kilts and feathered bonnets. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as Sir Allan Mackenzie presents the colours to Colonel Downman amidst an air of reverence and respect. Amongst those present are also His Royal Highness, Duke of Connaught, Marquis of Huntly, and other notable figures who have come to witness this prestigious occasion. Captured by an English photographer from the 19th century, this photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when royalty played an integral role in military ceremonies. It serves as a testament to both Scotland's rich cultural heritage and its strong ties with British monarchy. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece continues to evoke admiration for its historical significance while reminding us of the enduring traditions that shape our world today.
