    If it's a regimental sporran it would be the Atholl Highlanders, which I've seen referred to as "the only private standing army in the Realm" and "a ceremonial infantry regiment."

    The sporrans worn by the pipers are quite ornate (below). I'm guessing that a maker like Margaret Morrison could make one, but it would be expensive, and you would probably need to obtain permission from the Atholl Highlanders.

    The Other Ranks wear a sporran with a plain black leather cantle, but having the same badges.

    (They wear Murray of Atholl tartan.)
