Yes, it's a bespoke tartan designed for the band when they were called "Pipers' Trail Pipes & Drums".

Personally I think they should have gone with the 50th Edinburgh Military Tattoo tartan, which would make for more colourful uniforms

The CGI Tartan Register image certainly doesn't do this tartan justice, it's beautiful, take a look https://www.edintattoo.co.uk/news/we...-tattoo-tartan
The Pipers Trail tartan is dark blue with narrow white stripes, and the band's doublets are dark blue with narrow white piping.
It's always nice to have a contrast between the jackets and the kilts.
