    Great photo!

    Yes A&SH piper would be my guess, due to the grey sporran with black tassels and the shape of the cap-badge.

    I wish we could see the sporran better, see the cantle, or see the cap badge better, either of which would give a positive ID.

    Another thing we can't see, which would give a strong clue as to regiment, would be his flashes.

    The Argylls and the Black Watch wore the same style of flashes, quite different to the Seaforths, Gordons, or Camerons.

    The pic is attached to the thread in the subforum (click on the paper clip to the right of the post subject).

    To get the pic to appear in the thread, you need to click on 'Insert Image' (second row of icons, 4th group to the right, third button) rather than 'Attachments'. If you're uploading from your computer, click on the 'Browse ...' button and find your pic. Once you have selected the image, you need to click on 'upload image' below the 'Browse ...' button.
