Can someone identify this uniform please?  The wearer was born about 1908 Scotland.  Appreciate any help... thanks in anticipation.

Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, but the Glengarry should be on the other side of his head, looks like  a mirror image.

Thank you so much for your help.  Appreciate it.  Pic was given to me from an aunt who had it copied so has obviously been reversed.

It is...The collar dogs are back to front as well!  ;)

Pop it up on the photo restoration board...They will sort it (and colour if you ask nicely! ;D)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
