That's interesting. I've only seen red touries on regimental headgear. (The only exception I can think of being perhaps the London Scottish/Toronto Scottish with their rather oddly coloured dress.) Do you have images that show this?

Anyhow I too think the navy Balmoral with red tourie looks a bit out of place with that Ukilt...I don't know why, but to my eye anyway that sort of Balmoral looks "trad" and wants to go with a trad kilt.

I would wear a black Balmoral with black tourie with the black Ukilt. That sort of Balmoral is somehow more universal and can more easily go with various forms of dress I think.
