There is a reference to them wearing the Gordon tartan on the Scottish Military Historical Society's web site.

No argument here, I presented that story as something I was unsure of. I'm not sure where I picked it up. I should really spend some time researching that tragic episode.
I did find a reference to A&SH in Singapore. Kilts were not mentioned.
