1960s Movie Kilts

[Jock Scot]

Thanks, Jock. The other difficulty which springs to mind is that in the short term, at least, the RRoS continues to identify each of it's Battalions with their parent unit... which used to be free standing regiments, complete with different uniforms and traditions. Maybe someone can help me on this, but do each of the battalions where distinctive tartans?

The main differences for the basic infantry man's uniform of each Battalion is the hackle in their bonnet. A red hackle for the Black Watch for example, the same as it always has been(google images for RRoS is helpful). However these days, the tartan of the kilt and bonnet badge are exactly the same for the assorted Battalions within the Regiment. I think and I stand to be corrected here as I am not too sure what they do these days, the most noticeable and distinct differences are seen in the bandsmen's dress uniforms where various tartans of various historical regimental connections are worn, or carried on the pipes for example and I am afraid I cannot add any sensible thoughts on that.
