Tartan Revival: Dressing the Duff Highlanders with John McLeish, Peter MacDonald, Emma Wilkinson and Lorraine Grant

Long before the modern fashion icon, the Duff Highlanders made their mark through the striking spectacle of Highland dress. Known locally as the ‘Red Dogs’, their distinctive tartan uniforms were an expression of clan identity, ceremony and pride.

Join some of the individuals who helped bring their revival to life: John McLeish OBE, Chair of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and internationally recognised tartan historian Peter MacDonald OBE TD, both Duff Highlanders, sit alongside Emma Wilkinson of the House of Edgar in conversation with Curator and Cultural Programmer, Lorraine Grant.

Together, they will explore the story behind the recreation of the Duff Highlanders’ uniform, offering insights into the historical research and craftsmanship involved in reviving this distinctive piece of Highland heritage.
