I have hundreds of old photos of men in Highland dress and the wearing of feathers of various types was rather common. I doubt if these people were following any rules.
The pipers of the Cameron Highlanders have always worn a single eagle feather in their glengarry; this has been perpetuated by the piper of the Queens Own Highlanders, The Highlanders, and now The Royal Regiment of Scotland
(Note that the book is titled The Queens Own Highlanders but the photo is of a piper of The Highlanders: different sporran, plaid brooch, dirk, and bagcover.)
