    No tartan except for the pipers evidently.

    And according to Grierson, "Brass bands were abolished in the battalion in 1883, and a band of thirty pipers, besides
    drummers, formed, the pipers wearing green doublets, Sutherland kilt, Boyal Stuart shoulder - plaid, and plain glengarries with blackcock's tail.

    Clearly, Henderson is not wearing either Sutherland or Royal Stewart tartan, nor a green doublet and so, the picture does not seem to show the 1st LRV. However, the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, Scottish Rifles did wear Douglas, so he possibly served with them.
