Yes Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, or A&SH, but commonly called simply "the Argylls".
The tartan they wore was somewhat different in colouring than that worn by the Black Watch.
Here are the Drum Major and Pipe Major of each regiment (shorty before both regiments were swallowed up in The Royal Regiment Of Scotland).
The colouring of the tartan worn by the Argylls is very interesting. Note that the green is rather light but the blue remains dark, very different from Black Watch tartan rendered in "ancient colours" where both the green and the blue are lighter.


The new Royal Regiment Of Scotland wears kilts in the Argylls colouring. RRS kilts are widely available on Ebay so it would be easy for you to pick one up. The RRS kilts are boxpleated just as the Argylls kilts were.
The Government Sett was at one time worn by all Highland regiments, until the Gordon Highlanders were raised and the decision was made to add a yellow line. The Argylls were a living reminder of those early times.
