    If it's true, I would suppose that it's an officer from 14th, Birnam, Corps of Perthshire Rifle Volunteers (1860-1870s).
    They wore dark grey doublets with scarlet facings, RS kilts, black belts and plain glengarries.
    In 1887 they became the 4th Volunteer Battalion, the Black Watch.

    It is Royal Stewart but the uniform could be one of a number of related RVs. The Comrie Bn (4th Perthshire I think) wore similar. The Tartan Museum used to have one but it disappeared in the 1990s. I've been trying to find out what happened to it because it was never passed on the the STA..
