This is a hard one I googled "Grey headed Scotsman in a kilt in early Australia" and got Scotsmen from all around the world. Would you believe when I was a little boy I had a kilt, my last memory of it was me draping it over my shoulders like a cape and running up the street calling out Superman biggrin biggrin biggrin

Not him Sandy.   I thought this would be reasonably easy.

This should give it away.  There is a Royal connection.

We may need a few more clues, Sheba

I thought that it may have been King Edward 7, there was a bit of gossip about him, in his younger days, I do not think that he had a wavy haircut

Edward was not a Scot, Tony.  I really can't believe it's taking this long.  This clue will surely give it away.

Albert was no longer around.

I think that I have found him, going by your clues, Sheba

Is it John Brown, the gossip of the day was that he was a bit more than just a personal servant to Queen Victoria, after her Albert had died

John Brown it is Tony.  Who do you have for us ?

 

John Brown (8 December 1826 27 March 1883) was a Scottish personal attendant and favourite of Queen Victoria for many years. He was appreciated by many (including the Queen) for his competence and companionship, and resented by others for his influence and informal manner. The exact nature of his relationship with Victoria was the subject of great speculation by contemporaries, and continues to be controversial today.

Thanks Sheba

I never knew about this gentleman until I went searching, using your clues
Some say that Queen Victoria married him, and became Mrs Brown

Who is this man, he is not exactly royalty, and not exactly the correct spokesman for the 4X4 members of the forum
But credit where credit is due, as he was always good for a laugh

Who is this 16.jpg

Clue time; think of all the natural disasters that might affect the earth, typhoons, wind, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fire, tidal waves etc...
