(I'm talking about the pipers. As you can see the DM is wearing a Cameron of Erracht kilt. I think that guy was a QOH DM but I'm not sure, and he may be wearing his ex-army kilt.)

The tartan of the plaids was copied from the painting above, the jacket worn by the boy holding the golf club.
Are you sure all the drummers aren't wearing the Cameron of Erracht? I can see that the drummers are wearing red doublets and it looks like maybe their kilts are darker, but I can't tell for sure. That would be the way many of the regimental bands operate.
