Winter Talk: ‘Ladies from Hell’ – The Evolution of Dress in The Argyll and Sutherland Highlander 1794 – 2006
Col A K Miller CBE
This talk examines the evolution of the dress and accoutrements worn by The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders from the raising of the 91st and 93rd in the 1790s to the formation of The Royal Regiment of Scotland. It draws illustrations from the extensive collection of paintings and prints held by the Museum and traces the origins of items of regimental dress became enduring features right up until 2006.
This talk was originally given by A K Miller to members of the College of Master Kilt Makers as they were interested to know how military dress influenced the wearing of the kilt more widely, notably following the removal of the ban in 1782.
