    Thanks for the video link!

    So nice to continue to see Charles visiting Scotland and doing so in Highland Dress.

    He's worn that tartan, Hunting Stewart (ancient colours) since he was a lad.

    BTW with the new Royal Regiment of Scotland's generic uniforms it's hard to know which battalion is being seen.

    Until they showed Cruachan, the mascot of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, now 5SCOTS.

    Since the Pipes & Drums of 5SCOTS was disbanded in 2013, the Pipes & Drums of 4SCOTS is employed.

    Nice to see that the Pipe Major is bearded, a longstanding tradition in the Cameron Highlanders.

    I understand each battalion has a different coloured hackle - but they don't wear them with dress uniform only with combats.

    Right, each battalion has a differently coloured hackle on their TOS.

    But with the Glengarry all battalions wear the same blackcock hackle.

    I do not think you'll ever see HM King Charles III not kilted when in Scotland.

    The Camo "combats" with the brightly coloured hackles has me shaking my head a bit.
    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.
