hello OC
I was trying to find a decent version of the pic ... I seem to have dozens of it
here's one ...
He was a domestic coachman in Scotland and later in England .. he'd have been abt 70 when this was taken ... I suppose it could have been a 'left over' from his uniform

My Scottish Grandad, a working class man, always wore a "muffler" which was really a thin bit of material - not a tie - which he wore knotted round his neck.
For high days and holidays it was the same arrangement, but the muffler was silk. All the men wore them.
A cravat is a much fuller thing and is a thin strip of material with thicker, scarf like ends. (A short tie).
