    Fantastic!

    What's the story behind the photo? The child in the cot?

    Yes they're wearing a uniform similar to the 1st Battalion, same Glengarry and badge for sure.

    Note the mix of Highland and non-Highland tunics with the kilt. This was very common.

    Sometimes you'll see the soldiers pinning or sewing up the points of the lower jacket front to give a more Highland look.
