Glass plate negative of of a full length portrait of William Ross, the Queen's Piper, standing, facing a quarter to the right. He wears Highland dress and plays the bagpipes.

The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. A print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2906658.
