Default Royal Dragoon Guards Pipers

Hi Guys,

Here's a picture of a couple of Royal Dragoon Guards Pipers.

Am looking for a plaid brooch that they wear on their left shoulder.

Would anyone also happen to have a close up picture of one?

Regards,

Mick

That could well be another one. The pics I posted came from the RDG Pipes and Drums FB page.

Circular plaid brooch with central Jewel is possibly worn by the senior piper(s) or the Pipe Major. The other as in posts 1 and 2 is a Tara brooch.
