Sorry but this is the best I can do,the seargent in the second thumbnail
could be wearing Kedives star?
I thought the photo was from the Boer war,and the Australian battalions
would not be wearing tartan then but I am unsure.

Looks to me like the Cameronians, or Scottish Rifles.
Probably in South Africa, given the slouch hat, or maybe in 1901/02 when the terai hat was standard issue for the British Army.
Certainly not Australian or South African as they had no units in trews.
If you're interested in Scottish uniforms of the Empire check out three CDs at www.uniformsotw.co.uk. One on Australian, South African, and then other Empire/Commonwealth armies. 100 uniforms on each
