In any case, it shows several variations of the jacket I'm curious about.

Note that in the two men on the right the lapels are long and the jacket is basically a Regulation Doublet (though with braid/lace edging as is often seen in old photos and in The Highlanders of Scotland). But the men in the centre have jackets which button higher, with smaller lapels like the suit coats of the period. The man on the left might have a doublet with standing military collar. The jackets, whether they have low lapels, high small lapels, or a standing collar are otherwise similar. The board makes me think that this might be a group of Highland Dancers.


Unless I am very much mistaken that looks like the now disused Inverlochy distillery appearing over the shoulder of the man on the right. Sorry that is no help with the jacket though.
