King Charles III welcomed to Balmoral in Scotland by Royal Guard (lots of kilts)

Right, each battalion has a differently coloured hackle on their TOS.

But with the Glengarry all battalions wear the same blackcock hackle.

The Camo "combats" with the brightly coloured hackles has me shaking my head a bit.

Yes it seems like an oxymoron, but the Black Watch did wear their red hackles (in place of a cap-badge) on their TOS throughout both World Wars.

Here, the Ode to the Haggis being performed in Afghanistan, you can see the TOS with hackle and also the MTP "boonie" hat. Most photos show helmets being worn, as one would expect.
