Never wear a feather of any kind; you are not an armiger.

A very small feather might be okay, but expect to be challenged.
-
A large feather (e.g., a turkey feather) should never be worn.

Any feather is okay, as long as it is not from a golden eagle

I've been curious about this myself. My surname is Swan and I've always thought it would be fitting to wear a swan feather in my cap!

Could you elaborate for those of us who are ignorant of Scottish traditions, Jock? I realize it would be a serious faux pas for me to wear an eagle feather or a feather dressed up to look like one, but are there traditions and conventions regarding the wear of other feathers?
