Hello All The last couple of days I have had the pleasure of having my cousin (we both have the same great grandfather) out from Edinburgh. He brought a photo I have not previously seen and we hope someone can assist. He lived in Dundee and is dressed on tartan trousers with a dark tunic with white stripe down centre with buttons, white belt with "flap pockets" over hips. The back reads "taken in 1899. I was a private in 3 Batt. V.B.R.H. ..." Can anyone name this regiment? Douglas
