As far as the REME goes, take a look at this:

I haven't identified the tartan the REME Pipe Band is wearing yet, but did find a clearer picture by our own cessna152towser:

And another here.

Prompted by the links on here, I have done some digging - I think it is the Forbes tartan! I think they may share it with the likes of the Liverpool Scottish etc. Who knew! Years in there, and I never knew we had a pipe band! Ha! goes to show what notice I took of things!

I meant, we, as Canadians:

1) The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada = Government Sett (Pipers wear Royal Stewart)
2) The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's) = Government Sett
3) The Toronto Scottish (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Own)= Hodden Grey
4) 48th Highlanders of Canada = Davidson (Pipers wear Stewart of Fingask)
5) The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada = Cameron of Erracht
6) The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa = Cameron of Erracht
7) The Nova Scotia Highlanders - MacDonald
8) The Cape Breton Highlanders = Government Sett
9) The Irish Regiment of Canada = O'Saffron
10) The Calgary Highlanders = Government Sett
11) The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's)= Stewart Hunting
12) The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada = Mackenzie
13) The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin, and Halton Regiment) = Campbell Ancient
14) Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry Highlanders = MacDonnell of Glengarry
15) The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment = MacGillivray
16) Royal Highlander Fusiliers of Canada = Mackenzie
17) The Essex and Kent Scottish = MacGregor

Also, the RCAF tartan for pipers in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Excellent and comprehensive list! Thank you!

Actually, I believe if you examine the piper's plaid closely, it is Ferguson of Athol, perhaps in the Ancient colours.

I've just seen a photo of the Scottish National, it looks like that to me!

No, I don't think so:

Let me zoom in on that plaid for you:

Compare the sett, not the hue of the colours:

I think you are spot on and I believe the colour is that of the modern hue (refer to Lochcarron link)

Yes, now I've looked at the zoomed in closely, and looked at the set - it des seem to be a modern Ferguson of Atholl..... I wonder what the link is there?!
