They are wearing kilts. The Royals and the KOSB were never allowed kilts because the kilt is Highland dress...and they were lowlanders. They all wear kilts now...even the Caribbean and Fijian lads who make up a hefty whack of ALL the Scottish battalions . It's all gone for a shit now...big style. The real tragedy in all of this is not the foreigners in these battalions....it's that they dress lowlanders...in kilts!!!!!
The FIRST and truly Scottish regiments (those formed BEFORE the Union) those you disparagingly call Lowland regiments..the 1st (Royal Scots) of Foot (oldest regiment in the British Army), 21st (Royal Scots Fusiliers) of Foot, 25th (King's Own Scottish Borderers) of Foot (like the Royal Scots unique in that they were never amalgamated) and the 26th(Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)) of Foot. The kilt was abhorrent to Covenanters and Borderers....the old Royal Scots Fusiliers didn't even want to wear tartan when it was first proposed they adopt it in 1880...calling it a Jacobite affectation! The Royal Scots Borderers (1st and 25th of Foot) were recently converted to Rangers...still the senior infantry regiment in the British Army.
