| Description | Photographs of John and Patrick Wolrige Gordon, of Esslemont House, Ellon, 1950 and 1951, pictured standing outside a country house (probably not Esslemont House). The twins are pictured in two stances: side by side, facing camera, and face to face, side on to camera. In the 1950 prints they are wearing stalkers trousers and jackets; in the 1951 prints they are wearing dress kilts.
The slides are colour duplicates of the 1950 photographs and also include an indoors shot of two men and a woman (possibly including Mr and Mrs Wolrige Gordon) sitting at a table laid for tea. |
