Perhaps offtopic, here are some Royal Regiment of Scotland pipers during the relatively brief period when the 5SCOTS still had a Pipes & Drums.
L-R Pipe Major and piper 5SCOTS (Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders) piper 3SCOTS (Black Watch) piper 2SCOTS (Royal Highland Fusiliers) Pipe Major 4SCOTS (The Highlanders).
You can see the difference in tartan between the Senior Sergeants/Officers and Other Ranks in the Argylls.
Interesting to see the wearing of Royal Stewart cords & tassels by units that didn't formerly do so.
With 4SCOTS it could be a nod to the Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan of the old 72nd Highlanders.
