This standing-at-attention Side Drummer is wearing the iconic scarlet red tunic complete with shoulder wings (musician wings) plus decorative 'Fleur-de-Lis' Lace piping on the body of the tunic and sleeves. This intricate lace pattern dates back to the time when English monarchs laid claim to the throne of France The padded 'Shoulder Wings' historically, were to protect the wearer from sword cuts from above and to help secure instrument straps. For collectors wishing to build up their own Scots Guards Pipes & Drums a regular pipe band would include at least 3 or 4 Drummers.
