    Wearing of tartan coats by 42nd Regt Pipers?

    Whist working on a paper about the use of the Band Tartan by the Black Watch and others I recently uncovered reference to 42nd Regt pipers wearing tartan coats c1830-50 and have a B/W picture of an engraving c1830-40. This is the first reference I've ever encountered of military pipers wearing full tartan outfits. Anyone else come across this and more importantly, seen a colour image?
