Figure 1.--Here we have a photo postcard. It is undated, but we would gues was taken about 1910. As the card was sent by Stanley Durham, we can only assume this is his son. We do not know the boy's first name, but surely his last name is Durham. That sounds rather like a Scottish name, but they lived in Southport which I believe is in England. The boy is dressed in a Highland kilt complete with tam and eagle feather. Click on the image to see the message on the card.

We do not know the boy's first name, but surely his last name is Durham. That sounds rather like a Scottish name, but they lived in Southport. Southport is in England (Lancashire). It is a seaside town. All good Lancashire folk take a pilgramage here at sometime in their lives. It is now in Merseyside as it is near Liverpool. which I believe is in England. The boy is dressed in a Highland kilt complete with tam and eagle feather. He wears his kilt and jacket with an Eton collar. I'm not sure what material the jacket is. Tweed jackets were often with kilts, but this jacket does not look like tweed. We do not know if he is wearing a kilt because of family connections or he is just an English boy being dressed fashionably. The card was sent to a Miss G.Gaskell who was vacationing on the IOM (Isle of Man).
