Very interesting indeed!
As far as the piper's uniform goes, it contains a wealth of information. I note:
1) the wearing of Black Watch bag-covers, and Black Watch drone ribbons
2) black and red diced hose, evidently adopted by the pipers before the rest of the regiment
3) Royal Stewart tartan kilt seems to be intended
4) pipers wearing the same sporran as the ORs of the regiment
However, here we clearly see that Royal Stewart is not being worn. Is this the "music tartan"?
