Figure 1.--This is an unidentified portrait of three Scottish boys, presumably brothers wearing identical green sweaters, kilts, knee socks, and tan bucks. It is a modern portrait, but we have no idea who the three boys are or who painted them. The painting is signed, but we can not make out the signature. Given the bucks, we would guess the painting as done in the 1960s. The green sweaters and knee socks with red flashes look rather like the boys attended a prep school in Crief. Also notice the leather sporan. The boys look to be about 5-10 years old. By the 1960s it was generally boys from well-to-do families that wore kilts, but Scottiosh Scouts alao wore them as well. You also saw them at schools, but mostly at private schools.

This is an unidentified portrait of three Scottish boys, presumably brothers wearing identical green sweaters, kilts, knee socks, and tan bucks. It is a modern portrait, but we have no idea who the three boys are or who painted them. Actually the eldest child might be a girl. The kilt was a male garment, but with yoing children luke this, the parents by the 1960s could bend the rules a bit. The painting is signed, but we can not make out the signature. Given the bucks, we would guess the painting as done in the late-1960s. The date on the portrait may be 1971.

Given that the family could afford a painted portait and are dome up in kilts, we suspect that thr boys attended a private prepm school in Scotland.
