That style of cuff was used 1881 to the Boer War. His 'facings' - collar and cuffs - look white, in which case he is serving in an English non-Royal regiment - also not the Guards or the Rifles. But that still leaves about 25 possibles.

If you have the original then a very high definition scan of the cap and collar badges may tell you more.

Are there any photographer's details?

In 1897 the glengarry cap was replaced by the field service cap.  You can date this photo to before then so its a few years before the Boer War.
