Tartans
With the creation of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, this replaced the individual Scottish regiments tartans with one generic one for wear with uniform.
Do any other regiments wear tartan regularly with their uniforms though, do any other tartans exist for wear? And when would kilts/trews be worn
I ask because I spotted this

And wondered what regiment/order of dress it was.

Re: Tartans
LoF?
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

Re: Tartans
1RTR, Scots DG and RDG have tartan trews that are worn with black tie or morning dress. QRH do as well but tend to wear the "green suit" instead.

Re: Tartans
I'm in that picture (not the one with the beard - despite my avatar - or the trews)
"..there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots."

As worn by the Junior service.
http://www.mactartan.co.uk/assets/im...an_tie_013.jpgWell, the prodigal brother. When did you get back? Ain't seen you since the surrender. Come to think of it, I didn't see you at the surrender.
I don't believe in surrenders. Nope, I've still got my saber, Reverend. Didn't beat it into no plowshare, neither
