Hi Eileen 

Your man is in the Gordon Highlanders.  He's wearing officer's service dress, and the photo was taken well after the first World War.

The indications are the very faint lines of the Gordon kilt and the high up on the right side kilt pin, and the low, long collar dog.

Note: KOSB's are non-kilted with the exception of pipers.

I hope this helps.

Thanks ever so much.  That's  a great description and a big help.  I thought he may have been an officer.
Once againm, Thanks and Happy New Year.

Glad to be of help Eileen.  Do you know anything else about the photo, ie, the time/date the photo was taken! Or is there any of your relatives in the photo.

Perhaps you should post it into the  photo restoration section of this site, as it is a lovely photo.

Happy New Year

Hi Eileen

I think I've found out some more info for you on your couple and will pm you shortly on some findings.

That sounds interesting.  I look forward to that.  Thank you.

Hi Eileen

I am almost sure I can identify your couple, therefore it  would be nice if I could claim some kudos for it too, and post it here, rather than just personal messages, as you have already made the photo and call for identity public by posting it here, as well as it being elsewhere with my additions but without attribution.
