That band didn't look anything like the pipe band of the 48th Highlanders, seen here:

As you can see they wear distinctive black sporrans with two white tails.

By the way, note that one of the drum majors in that video was wearing a civilian evening dress sporran rather than a horsehair sporran.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham,

We had a couple of soldiers who had just returned from Afghanistan, they may have wanted to honor the ones still on the battle field. We also had several visitors from other regiments who marched with us that day.
