Hi

I have posted (for restoration) a picture of an Uncle who was in the Black Watch. Can anyone tell me anything about the uniform i.e. 'pips' above left pocket

Good evening,

That would appear not to be a black watch uniform, not even sure it's army at all. The stars look like the service stars worn by boy scouts and the sporran has what appears to be a badge similar to the scouts. However, saying that , iv'e never seen a scout uniform like that either.
