I read that he donated the kilt he wore in Normandy along with his bagpipes, knife and beret to the National War Museum of Scotland in 2001. And that it was the same Cameron tartan kilt his father wore in Flanders in the Great War.
Not an exact quote, but their words. Don't remember which newspaper or website, since I read several.
Apparently the tartan he wore at Normandy was different that the tartan in the pic from in the Obit in the Telegraph (link above). I guess I was ambiguous in asking about the tartan worn in the picture which is of a fairly recent vintage. So if I have followed everyone accurately Piper Bill wore the Cameron of Errracht at Normandy and the tartan in the pic is Fraser Hunting Ancient.
It's definitely Hunting Fraser which was the regimental tartan of the Lovat Scouts in which Lord Lovat was commissioned in 1939. He appointed Millin as his personal piper but I haven't been able to confirm if Millin was actually ever in the Lovat Scouts.
Millin's Erracht kilt was the one that his father worn in Flanders during WWI.
