Portrait of dog by Paton, Campbeltown, from mystery album
This has the feel of an 1860s/70s image, though further information on dating this studio would be welcome. There is a matching carte, but with a lady’s portrait, at www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/4353630465/

One of 140 images from a fascinating album. For more information see the full set
From 26-28 February I will be in the Truprint Photography Gallery at the Who Do You Think You Are? Live event at London’s Olympia. In the run up to that event, and with the help of show visitors over the three days, my aim is to use this album as an example of how Flickr, and the wider web community, can help identify these mystery, orphaned photograhs.
Just how many of these images can we identify, and what can we find out about the people they portray?

Visiting card of the Paton Studio (doesn't look much for a studio that took portraits of HRH, does it?)

Apparently Hugh and his brother operated their studio from the mid 1860s to 1875. source
