@ Jock:
I appreciate your open words and the insight in the scottish soul. I am aware of the possible "conflicts" if I wore the bonnet in Scotland in the above way. I assure you: it will not happen.

Actually it is a compromise solution, with material at hand and with colours appealing to me. More or less prove of concept.

@ John:
I intend to do it with my own tartan as I have some extra length, though I didn't find the time yet. When I made those above my own was not yet delivered.

But there are still the silk/textile bluebells on my mind. If someone knows of a source (preferably in the EU) please let me know.
