The Pipes and Drums of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, along with the Band of the Irish Guards, are coming to the DC area in late January. While I know that all of the "amalgamated" battalions are wearing the Government Sett for their kilts, rumour has it that the various members of the pipe band are "allowed" to wear the tartan of their respective former regiments (i.e. a piper who was originally with the KOSB will be able to wear the Leslie tartan), and other regimental items like sporrans, pipe banners, and whatnot.

Can anyone confirm this rumour? I looked at both the MoD and RRS websites, but couldn't find any further information, other than the statement that some decisions were still being made with regard to who would be the pipe major, drum major, lead tip, etc.

Thanks!
