No. It is Highland Evening Dress with Evening Dress optional. And they define Highland Evening Dress as wearing black tie or lace jabot. The fact that it says "No dinner jackets" means that it is not a "black tie" event. There are of course photos of men in Highland attire wearing white tie at previous balls, so clearly that is acceptable (given that they say they will turn away people who are not properly dressed).
