The Duke is depicted here in full Scottish regalia, including his traditional kilt, sporran, and bonnet, signifying his strong connection to his Scottish roots. The military uniform he wears is that of the Gordon Highlanders, a regiment that he raised and commanded, reflecting his dedication to the Scottish military. George Gordon's military career began at a young age, and he saw action in the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolutionary Wars.

Despite his military prowess, the Duke was also known for his generosity and patronage of the arts.

This photograph is a testament to the Duke's Scottish heritage and his role as a Highland chieftain and military leader. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of Scotland during the 18th and 19th centuries.
