Lovat Scouts Tartan badge Backing

[Home Guard]

Is this the correct tartan to be worn as a backing to the Lovat Scouts badge? If not can someone show me the correct one please?



Thank you,

Terry

I'm no expert but am quoting from the book "Badge Backings & Special Embelishments of the British Army - Page 280.

".......these Lovat Scouts [2 platoons as part of 2nd Battalion 51st Highland Volunteers] still wear the diced Atholl bonnet of the Lovat Scouts when wearing No. 2 dress. Otherwise they were the same cap badge but with a 3" square Fraser Tartan backing, with the white line going east to west." ..."With the Bonnet TOS [Tam 'o' Shanter?] a 3" square black patch is worn."

Hope this is of some use?

Thanks DB, That seems close to what I found on line, as what I found said the Hunting Fraser, and your reference just sys Fraser. I wonder if both are correct and maybe there was a change?

Again, my sincere thanks,

Terry
