Sorry for the confusion - didn't mean to disparage anyone's Regiment, especially the RHR, whom I hold in the highest esteem. In fact, I think they're almost as good as soldiers as Seaforth.

But yes, I still think they're wearing their sporrans at the proper height, even if a lot of civvies think it's in vogue to wear them to high to serve their purpose.
No Probs, i appreciate that. The sporrans that used to be worn by Junior Ranks were a lot shorter and different pattern although still with the 5 bells.

Likewise i think this photo is about 50 years old while the uniform may stay the same the way its worn can change!!
