Head Wear

Scottish headwears are varied and frequently connected to traditional clothing. Tam o’ Shanter a round, soft woolen hat topped with a pom-pom.
Named after Robert Burns’ poem character. Often part of Highland dress or informal wear. Balmoral Bonnet (or “Blue Bonnet”) a Scottish beret-style traditional hat, typically woolen. Frequently worn with Highland dress, possibly including a clan badge or feather. Glengarry Bonnet
a woolen peaked cap with ribbons at the back. Traditionally worn by Scottish army regiments and pipers. Feathered Bonnet a hat with a feather plume used as part of military dress, worn by Highland regiments. Kilmarnock Bonnet a round, flat cap once worn by Scots in work-class occupations. Sporran Hats (for Highland Dress) for more formal Highland dress, there are decorative feathers (e.g., as part of a “Prince Charlie” outfit). These Scottish headwears are commonly worn at Scottish gatherings such as Highland Games, weddings, and ceilidhs. They are still worn today as symbols of Scottish heritage.
