To me that outfit is perfect for a man of his age in 1921. He may have been born around 1860 and might have acquired all or part of that outfit in the c1880-1910 period.
In 1921 a young man keen to have the latest fashion might appear in a Prince Charlie coatee with the new small sealskin Evening sporran, but a mature man would likely wear the fashions of a few decades earlier.
I do quibble with the Ghillies, which seem out of place unless they had buckles. I would expect buckled Evening shoes.
For comparison here are Edinburgh Scots in 1910
