Help - can you identify the uniform?
I wonder if any of you can help me identify the uniform my great grandfather is wearing. I have tried to find a likeness but have not yet managed to.
His name was Alexander Morrison, I think this was taken around 1900. By his marriage in 1904 he was described as an Electrical Linesman at and his death in 1919 he was a coal miner. This photo is what sparked my interest in family history but have never been able to identify the uniform. Kind regards Fiona |

Sergeant Piper (?), not sure of regiment but could be Cameron Highlanders from the colour of the hair and tassles on the sporran.
P.B.

I'm not an expert on pipers but that looks like government tartan to me (especially the shade side of him). Coupled with what looks like a dinner-plate size badge, I would stab at Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.

I'm not an expert on Scottish regiments (being a Sassenach) but a clue might be the blackcock feathers in the glengarry. I think only certain Scottish regiments wear/wore them, but I'd have to check which ones.
