Robert Turnbull Macpherson (1814 – 1872). Scottish artist and photographer who worked in Rome, Italy, in the 19th century.

- "In appearance he was the quintessential Scotsman abroad, with flaming red hair..." http://www.avictorian.com/Macpherson_Robert.html

- "His striking appearance (tall and fair-skinned, with long red hair and blue eyes, rendered all the more exotic by the native Scottish kilt he customarily wore)..." https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/283141
