Help identifying/finding a particular tartab

[AbigailEMG]

My father is trying to get a kilt, but we're having trouble trying to find the VERY specific tartan he's after. He served with the Argyll and Southerland Highlanders Princess Louise's 91st Regiment, discharged 2000.
He is of the opinion that it's some sort of Black Watch like tartan but with a yellow/white streak in it?
If anyone can be of any help that would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong ng place, wasn't sure where would be best!

Could it perhaps have been a white and red stripe? To the best of my knowledge the Seaforth Highlanders wear the MacKenzie tartan - black watch base with white and red stripes.

Campbell of Argyll perhaps, it's basically black watch with a white and yellow stripe?

This Regt. wore the Govt. Sett 2A Tartan.

Yes the sett is the same as Black Watch.

The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders wore two different sorts of kilts, one by Other Ranks and one by senior Sergeants and Officers.

The Other Ranks kilts were made from the same fabric as the Other Ranks kilts of The Black Watch, the difference being that the Argylls' kilts were boxpleated, the Black Watch's knifepleated.

Senior Sergeants and Officers of the Argylls had a different fabric, with the green done in a considerably lighter shade of green.

You're in luck though! Because the exact kilt of the Sergeants and Officers of the Argylls, with the lighter green, and boxpleated, has been adopted by the entire infantry of the nation of Scotland, The Royal Regiment Of Scotland.

These kilts can easily and cheaply be picked up on Ebay, heavyweight quality kilts for a very low price.

Here they are!

LOL Pipie having trouble striking in!

Note from the cap badges that this photo is of the 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment Of Scotland, which continues the heritage of the old Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
