Perhaps Peter could estimate the age of the kilt? It looks old to me, possibly 19th century? But AFAIK the "vegetable colourings" weren't introduced until the early 20th century.
Yes, it's an Old Stewart kilt but it's not in Old Colours , the shades, which look like a type of Modern-Muted combination and may have been bespoke. This whole outfit is obviously a combination of various regimental pieces, not all Scottish, and I wonder whether the kilt is in fact civilian? It's hard to be certain from the photos but it looks as though it might be Saxony. My best guess is that it is c1900-1930.
