    I still haven't found the particular painting I'm looking for (I've got some rather large folders)

    But I did locate a few more images that verify the basic style across multiple Highland Regiments

    From a wargaming site
    , a 42nd Reg (Black Watch) :

    on eBay this bookplate
    shows an officer with a metal cantle, but the OR on the right has a sporran with a similar design to the one posted by figheadair. Both from the 84th.



    a painting from the Battle of Waterloo
    showing similar sporrans worn

    from Wikipedia, a painting showing the Battle of Quartre Bras, note the Black Watch officer in the center with the raised arm. He appears to be wearing a similar sporran.
