    too long a kilt, but what tartan?

    a photo, from the National Post, showing a Canadian soldier in a kilt ( I won't refer to the obvious "other " person", due to rules of this forum) at a Remembrance Day ceremony, today:

    beside wear the kilt too low, does anyone recognize the tartan? I saw an army cadet, at the ceremony in my home town, today, wearing the same tartan ( and also too long, or low, a kilt).

    It appears to my eye to be Cameron Of Erracht.

    The pic is a bit dark but I'd go with Cameron of Erracht, too. (And, FWIW, it looks like the Camerons' sporran style also.)

    Cheers,

    yes gents, I think you're all correct - from what I can find in a very quick search, that would mean that both are members of the the Cameron Highlanders ( either The Queens own, or the Duke of Edinburgh/Ottawa).
    thanks

    Now my question is this:
    How might one slip up uniform-wise as this chap has? Not a jab at the man but he is wearing a military uniform, correct? Come to think of it, it looks as if his jacket is too large, too. I may be mistaken, though. It's happened once or twice before.

    Regretfully, obviously, he has not been instructed in wearing highland dress, given the medals he wears. He has the photo to remember for ever his faux pas, but there is a senior subaltern and adjutant that need to be called to task...
