Hello,

Does someone can help to identify this group of Scottish soldiers?

Looks like cadets to me, need to ask the seller what it says bottom right.

It simply says Sergeants 1936.

hello !
At left, perhaps Loretto School (K&K II p205 n°2611) or St Andrews University (Bloomer I p54 n°353)

Thanks you all for your help. Not easy to make out the large cap badge with the wreath and what looks like a shield in the center... The smaller could be St-Andrews or Loretto but not easy to confirm this. Maybe could be South-African or Australian cadets?

The captain in the centre and the 2nd Lt on the right could be - could be - wearing the Gordon Highlanders 3D stags head badge in relief so there could possibly be a Gordons connection. The tartan has the look of a Gordons and the horse hair sporran with 2 black tassles would support that, but that's all I can give. Maybe a school with a GH connection.
Cheers,
Alex

It's Lorretto school. They wore the Lovat Scouts Balmoral with a school badge.

Alan looks to have nailed it! Whoever they are, they look like they got dressed in the dark!

They had a unique uniform hence the non-standard collar and ties!
