Thanks. Glad I didn't buy it. I always find Scottish military bands difficult to tell from civilian bands, in the absence of clear badge I'd.

The uniforms are typically quite different in details. The cross belt, waist belt and furniture are not military, as is the plaid brooch and sporran, along with other details. The photo is also not very old, probably 1950s.
