    Which Pipe Band?

    Found this image lurking on the STA website but it has no name or attribution. Anyone know what band it belongs to?

    Personally I doubt it belongs to any particular band, but rather random items thrown together for display, perhaps for a shop.

    Looks to be a new never-worn doublet, Pakistani or Indian made. (I would have to look at the doublet in person to know for sure.)

    The programmes of the World Pipe Band Championships and many other Games list the tartans each band wears, so if the name of the tartan is known one might find a band, or several bands, that wear it. But that particular kilt and plaid might not be associated with any band.

    Useful comments Richard, I'd expected you to chime in. Answered my own question. The tartan is Peter of Lee, a personal one. I wonder if this was part of his dressing up collection for visiting friends, or perhaps he had his own piper.
