Here we see unidentified Scottish children, almost certsinly brother and sister. All we know about the portrait is that it was taken in Lawhead View, Markinch. That seems to be a town near St. Andrews. The children look to be about 6 and 8 years of age. The girl wers a long dress with an elaborate collar. She has something in her lap, perhaps flowers. The boy wears a cut-away jacket with military cuffs, an Eton coolar, and kilt. He does not wear a sporan which was commonly worn with kilts. She wears button shoes, he wears strap shoes. strap shoes were not uncommonly worn with kilts for a formsl outfit. As the photogrpher received an award in 1893, we know the portrait was made sometime after 1893, probably about 1895.
