Unknown Scottish unit
For your learned consideration, a couple of photos circa 1916.
It is hoped that the uniform details and the partially visible cap badge may provide clues as to the unit. A few details, below, on the individual may suggest a local unit, if a Territorial.
A friend's great-grandfather, named James Brown, is the soldier on the left in picture 1. We are trying to figure out in what unit he served and then be able to plunge into his service records, if available. Being "James Brown", among the multitude with the same name, even basic Ancestry is a challenge. Thankfully a family Bible records that he was born 11 March 1884 in (likely) Riccarton, Ayrshire, UK. Died 28 February 1934 in Irvine, Ayrshire, UK.
If anyone can help put another piece in the puzzle, it would be most appreciated. Thank you!
best regards,
Tim
