I believe that's a Royal Highland Fusiliers kilt pin. He's also wearing the regimental striped tie, and the cap badge. He has a bagcover with the regimental crest on it as well (at least he did when I heard him at a College of Piping recital in Glasgow).

Now about "rosettes without ribbon tails", the Pipe Major of the Royal Highland Fusiliers for example wears two rosettes on his kilt. These are actual "rosettes", that is, a circular thing with a button in the middle, not to be confused with the bows worn on Black Watch kilts.
Here's Pipe Major Gavin Stoddart of the Royal Highland Fusiliers, where the rosettes can be seen:
and here's a Black Watch kilt were the quite different bows can be seen:
