Some appear to be Victorian militia units, others I can only guess.


IMHO, it's 96th Highland Rifle Militia (1860-1881). The bonnet and doublet of Rifle green,all the piping in black. Kilt of "wide" MacKenzie sett, the sporran being a dark hair one with 3 black tassels and brass cantle. The hose have black and red dicing, the gaiters are brown.
In 1881 the battalion adopted the uniform and appointments of the Seaforth Highlanders (as 3rd Battalion of Seaforth Hldrs).
