The inscription on the photograph appears to be from the 1860s.  The date is not easy to read,  but  the style of the inscription is very similar to one on a painting by John Horsburgh b.1835 held by the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

John Horsburgh b.1835 is reported to have flourished 1878-1899.  Might this be one of his earlier works?

Here is the signature from the bottom-right corner of the painting:
