EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1846, showcases a group of proud Forbes Clan members dressed in their traditional tartan attire, paying homage to their rich Scottish heritage. The Forbes tartan, with its distinctive green, yellow, and red colors, has been worn by the Forbes clan for centuries, representing their strong connection to the Scottish Highlands. The early Victorian era, in which this photograph was taken, marked a time of great cultural pride and revival of traditional Scottish customs. The men in this image are adorned in their kilts, the iconic Scottish garment, which showcases the intricate patterns of their clan's tartan. Each man wears a hat with a feather or multiple feathers, adding an elegant touch to their attire. The Forbes Clan, one of the oldest and most distinguished clans in Scotland, has a long and storied history. The name "Forbes" is believed to have originated from the Gaelic word "Fearabas," meaning "man of the forest." The clan's crest features a silver wolf's head on a blue background, symbolizing strength, courage, and protection. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Scottish clans proudly displayed their heritage through their unique tartans and traditions. The Forbes Clan, with its striking tartan and proud members, continues to embody the spirit of Scotland's rich history and cultural heritage.
