The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders wore two different sorts of kilts, one by Other Ranks and one by senior Sergeants and Officers.
The Other Ranks kilts were made from the same fabric as the Other Ranks kilts of The Black Watch, the difference being that the Argylls' kilts were boxpleated, the Black Watch's knifepleated.
Senior Sergeants and Officers of the Argylls had a different fabric, with the green done in a considerably lighter shade of green.
You're in luck though! Because the exact kilt of the Sergeants and Officers of the Argylls, with the lighter green, and boxpleated, has been adopted by the entire infantry of the nation of Scotland, The Royal Regiment Of Scotland.
These kilts can easily and cheaply be picked up on Ebay, heavyweight quality kilts for a very low price.

LOL Pipie having trouble striking in!
Note from the cap badges that this photo is of the 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment Of Scotland, which continues the heritage of the old Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
