Old photograph of the Lonach Highlanders in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Lonach Highlanders are members of The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society which was formed in 1823. The principal aims of the Society are the preservation of Highland Dress and the Gaelic language; to support loyal, peaceable manly conduct and the promotion of social and benevolent feelings among the inhabitants of the district. Most of the men in Lonach are Forbes, although there is a section for the Wallace and Gordon clans as well, each with their own tartan.
