I can't say about the tartan, but I fancy the picture was taken in a studio(a perfectly normal thing to do) before he fully passed out. Why? No unit insignia on his tunic, no wound stripes( which he certainly earned and were I think, still worn in 1918/19) and no medal ribbons ( he would have at least one "Campaign" Medal). Which he would have by the end of the war.
