Royal Ecossais
This new group (started in 2011) is impressive. These photos are from this year's Fulda. The Royal Ecossais were French Scots who came over in the '45. Webpage for this German group here
We portray the grenadiers of the Royal Écossois, and they did wear both kilts and belted plaids. I did the research for the Highland dress of the Royal Écossois grenadiers, and I reconstructed the tartan from a painting. If we had not the historical sources, we wouldn´t wear Highland dress.

They didn't wear kilts or tams, unfortunately.
