A couple of Regts. spring to mind who had this style sporran, the Seaforths & Gordons (Highlanders) but it's not their cap badge. As this is a childs outfit it may be a military style badge rather than a actual one.

See the attached photo in a similar vein, from approximately 1919. As all of my family were miners and had been for several generations I think that the dress is generic rather than indicating a particular regiment.

hi
as it looks like a studio photograph
i was wondering if it was just props
or perhaps belonged to a relatives uniform
the lad was born 1914 so prob 1919 or 20
when it was taken the other child is his sister

I suspect that these were not props as I have several photos one of which is in a studio and the others are taken at his home address. I am not sure if photographers would keep a range of kilt sizes for children but I do know that it was common for young boys to own kilts, although the parents would have to be reasonably well off.

Agree studios didn't keep outfits. They just didn't have the space or the money.

Yes definitely the Gordons.
Going back to your 1st. photo there may have been a family connection to a particular Regt. as the other child also has 2 tassels on her muff & collar.

The "Swinging Six" sporran & big badge is the Argyll & Sufferin Highlanders. Kids kilts were generally made from an army kilt. Mine was! ;D
