    Here's the photo cropped in order to make it larger, and the values enhanced a bit.

    It's very interesting, the round badges (like clan crest badges, note the thing sticking out on the bottom) on sporran and Glengarries.

    Note that the trim and the buttons on the doublets are dark, and the waistbelt buckles are subdued. My guess would be that these doublets are made in the style of Rifles regiments, in Rifles green. Or perhaps the doublets are drab like those of The Liverpool Scottish. Also note that there is no dicing on the Glengarries, another Rifles style thing.



    I found this photo online of a "Scottish Rifles" doublet. To me it appears to be similar to the ones above, though this is an officer's doublet with more trim:



    This picture is inscribed "H Coy 7th G. H. leaving for war 6/8/14". Note that the uniform appears to be like The Gordon Highlanders in most/all visible respects: standard Gordon sporrans, Gordon diced Glengarries, Gordon (or Gordon-like) cap badges
