Photograph of two officers of the Seaforth Highlanders, standing in their full dress, 1900 (c). On the left is Lt Cecil Claud Hugh Orby Gascoigne, the brother of Lt Ernest Frederick Orby Gascoigne. On the right is possibly Lt Hugh Frederick Baillie. They are wearing Full Review Order, and are holding their black ostrich feather bonnets with a white feather plume. Their white horse hair sporrans have six gold bullion tassels. They have a scarlet doublet with buff coloured facings and Mackenzie tartan kilts. The regiment has the distinction of having two collar badges, one being the Assaye elephant and the other the cypher ‘F” of Frederick, Duke of Albany. From an album of 99 photographs compiled by or presented to Captain (later Brig-Gen) Ernest Frederick Orby Gascoigne. The album is entitled: ‘Personal album E F O Gascoigne. 1st & 3rd Battalions - 1894-1905’, but covers the period 1892-1905; taken in England and Gibraltar.
