As we look at the tie, as far as British Regimental/university/old school/Club ties/etc. are concerned the high right-low left stripes out number the high left low right stripe by probably, three to one. There is no real significance of which way the stripes go.Off the top of my head, three examples of the minority high left, low right stripes are, The Royal Marines, The intelligence Corps, and The Royal Air Force.
One needs to be careful, some Battalions within a Regiment can have their own tie. Is there a Commonwealth connection? I have no idea in this case with the tie in question, but I would not be surprised. Also, I believe that the A&S Highlanders have a new style of tie and no, not the red one in question.
As an afterthought, google G.D. Golding(tailors) or, Smart turnout and there are usually pages of the types of ties in question for examples.
