who are the Gilnockie Highlanders?

[OC Richard]

This album was up on Ebay, and I wondered who the Gilnockie Highlanders might be.

Googling came up with nothing beyond this album and an album issued in Italian which might or might not have the same material.



I know that "stock photos" are often used on album covers, so this might well not be a photo of a member of the band.

The photo is reversed.

Be that as it may the photo is interesting, showing a strange blend of the uniform of the pipers of The Scots Guards with odd changes, such as putting a strip of tartan over the diced bottom of the feather bonnet. The pipes appear to be a very valuable full-silver set, missing one of the drone's end-caps.
