    Argylls piper uniforms

    This is the image of an Argylls piper we're long familiar with



    now perpetuated in The Royal Regiment Of Scotland




    This wonderful old portrait, said to be from the 1890s, shows the familiar traditional kit but a spoon-and-wreath buckle rather the familiar rectangular belt plate.



    Here's the crossbelt buckle. A lovely thing



    So I was interested to find photos showing a bit different kit: note the sporran has only two tassels, and the 'frame' crossbelt buckle seems to appear on the waistbelt too



    in colour



    I wonder about the various waistbelt buckles. Was there 1st Battalion/2nd Battalion thing? The photos bring more questions than answers.
