Highland Fusilier Bagpiper

[slalonde]

I'm looking for coloured pictures of a Highland Fusilier Bagpiper.  I'm doing a ceramic bagpiper and my husband is a former Highland Fusilier and would like my ceramic bagpiper to be as true to the colours of the Highland Fusilier that I can do.  So if you have any pictures of this - please email me at [email protected] or you can call me at work at 403-297-0444.
This would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean 'colours'? Do you mean cap badge? (Like my avatar)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "Regimental and Queen's Colours"
(i.e. those ornate pieces of cloth, sometimes carried around on sticks by two subalterns accompanied by the Escort To The Colours - immediately before they appear/depart you'll often hear the command "March On/Off The Colours")

An example appears on this website, immediately under the cap badge on the lefthand side:

I am guessing you mean the colour of the uniform (tunic, kilt, etc)

I tried to do a search on the web, but as I am unfammiliar with my Highland cousins', I could not find the right picture.  Hopefully someone can post you a pic of an actual piper of the regiment.

this next pic is of a cadet affiliated to the 48th.. so the tarten and such would be the right colours... I would assume
