Perhaps a bit off topic, but both the OP's photo and OC Richard's photo illustrate, to me, the awkwardness of how people position their hands for posed photos like this. I have never understood this phenomenon of grasping one's hands together behind the sporran. It looks like the way a small child stands when he really needs to go to the toilet and he's doing all he can to hold it in. Is this something they are taught to do in the military while wearing kilts? It doesn't seem universal, but it's common enough that someone must be telling them this is the way to do it.

Not that I'm a fan of arms hanging limply by one's sides either, but it's better than behind the sporran. Are they not allowed to clasp their hands behind their backs?
