It looks to me like it's done in the "vegetable colourings" that my Highland Dress catalogues from the 1920s and 1930s make reference to, the colourway we call "ancient colours" today.
If indeed made prior to the 1920s it would be the earliest "ancient colours" kilt I've seen.
Vegetable colourings mentioned in 1936
This kilt, in 1909, appears to be made in vegetable colourings
