Author Topic: early 14th century highlander impression johann matzke New Member Member # 1209 posted 11-21-2006 02:25 PM                my research has begun to take two paths and I need help sorting them out. Either highland scots dressed more in common with the irish or they were not that unlike the english (except maybe 50 odd years out of date). I have had both suggested to me and while each sounds plausible, I would like cast the net abit wider as it were. Anyone want to point me in the right direction?

Alan is the art work in David Teague's comments yours, or am I confused?

I do art like this for my group so I made a bad assumption. -------------------- James Barker Lord Grey's Retinue http://www.lordgreys.org Registered: Feb 2003  |  IP: Logged
