The khaki shirts are a summer version No 2 dress, where a khaki tunic would otherwise be worn or barrack dress where a pullover (sweater) is worn. There is no ceremonial summer dress for wear in the uk. There is a tradition in the Royal Regiment of Scotland that officers and warrant officers wear blue shirts in summer dress.
Apparently this tradition was inherited from the Royal Highland Fusiliers. It has now filtered down to include all members of the pipes and drums.
