not sure about the garb, but it looks like either a re-enactor, or someone who fought in WWII as a youth and took a pic recently.
eitherway, I wouldn't mess with a man in a kilt going to war!

Also, that guy has massive calves! How does he keep his hose in good condition without wearing out the elastic?! LOL!

The kilt is the Seaforth Highlanders but I do not know about the rest of the outfit.

To my knowledge, few kilts were worn in combat during the Second World War, save by pipers and of course, the Camerons, who reportedly last wore the kilt in combat during the days of Dunkirk and the evacuation of British Forces from the continent in 1940.
Some of his "kit" looks good; but others, like the hose and the belt, do not. The main page that zardoz recommended has some good photos of Scottish soldiers, their uniforms and equipment: http://www.eldonspecialties.com/df/camerons/
Most likely it's a gentleman who wanted to "recreate" the look of a Scottish soldier.
Regards,
Todd
