Cap Badge on a Clan Balmoral?

The question of military TOSs did come up with tartan patches.
Some of us do wear them especially when hiking or walking for a charity, but there again we are Scottish Infantry Vets.

Fair enough that is fine,you are entitled so to do, although as civilians most veterans choose not to in my experience, on a day to day basis. However, we do need to remember most members of this website are not Scottish Infantry Vets.

As we are talking to a predominately US audience, many of whom have a military background, who have rather different traditions to us in the UK and we are talking about the Scottish kilt and its assorted attire in a civilian context. I do think that we are duty bound to try to not give the wrong ideas about kilt wearing traditions by planting inaccurate ideas in their minds!

Jock Scot,

Agreed, but as a member of the Scottish American Military Society, I am often asked about Scottish Division dress.
I know what you mean about the dress. I was appalled this year during by an State Congressman. I thought he was a vagabond and I am not joking.

Thanks for the link
