Hey, wow -- a "crucified moose" of the (51st) Highland Brigade!
The Argylls refused to wear those things in Aden back in the 60's:

If I remember correctly, back in the 1960's, the British Army tried to adopt the brigade system, a la the US Army -- as a result, the various Scottish regiments were "forced" to wear the brigade badge -- in this case the aforesaid "crucified moose" -- instead of their regimental one.
