Im not sure if the colours of the uniform are correct ( I'm inclined to believe they are) i was hoping someone with great knowledge of this sort of thing could give me at least a little info on the uniform or regiment or something close to that


    Note: this is my first time using an image hosting site so please inform my if the image dosent show, thanks/ Double Note: image dosent seem to work so direct link/ also i changed it to my avatar http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/DSCF1243.jpg
    It's the 48th Highlanders of Canada, the tartan is Davidson and, from 1900 thru (at least) the end of the Great War, they were known as the "48th Regiment (Highlanders)". You should be able to get a copy of your great grandfather's service records from Ottawa.

    UNIFORM DETAILS: Feather bonnet with white hackle. Balmoral, blue, with diced border. Scarlet doublet. Facings, blue. Tartan, Davidson. Sporran, black, with two white tails. Hose, red and black. Pipers wear Fingask tartan. White shell jackets are worn.
