Claimed to be insignia of Scots Guards from WW1 period
Genuine?

Many Thanks

Very difficult to say. Looks to be the correct size for wear on the SD Cap. I suspect you will never know for sure.

As stated, it's unlikely to be able to be dated, and a patch of Royal Stewart pattern tartan need not even be military in orgin.
Here is my Scots Guards officer's cap:
