Figure 1.-- This Scottish cabinet card portrait shows the four siblings: Jeanie, David, Annie and Johnston Kilgour. They range in age from 6-18 years old. The girls wear similar, but not identical white dresses. They are 9 and 18 years old. Usually there is more difference in the dress styling for girls with such an age gap. Their hair has waves. The younger girl has a small hair bow. The boys wear similar kilt outfits with Eton collars, but there are differences. The boys are 6 and 13 years old. David, the younger boy, wears an Eton jacket. His older brother has a lapel jacket. Their vests and neckwear are also different. The jackets and vests are done in the same flannel-looking material, but their kilts have a different tartan.

Today in Scotland, many private Scottish schools have dress uniforms like the older boy is wearing only with tweed jackets rathr than flannel. We are not sure if that was common in the 1900s yet. They have faux-buckle strap shoes. The portrait was taken during September 1903. The studio was John Weir in Glasgow. The mount was a greyish green, a popular color for the new style mounts. The mount itself is a mix of new and old style mounts.
