Kilt worn by Pvt James Calder at the Battle of Aubers Ridge 🇫🇷 1915, where 100s of his comrades died. He returned home injured in 1916. His family kept his kilt, unwashed, as a testament to the horrors of war. Lent to #TartanExhibition @VADundee by @HMuseum

We had a rather lovely visitor last Friday who brought along some of her family photographs, including this photo of her dad James E Brown, b. 1888. He grew up at Balnagown Estates after his father Alfred, a Master Mariner from London, began working for Sir Charles Ross.

On the 11th of March 1915, at the beginning of WW1, the Tain Company of 4th Seaforth Highlanders went into action for the first time. The battalion suffered terrible casualties including two young men from Tain who were acting as stretcher-bearers.
