[LIST][*]Watch out on which side the Glengarry is titlted (if at all) on the head since in some quarters (again to be probably ignored in the U.S.) it has political significance.

What is that politcal significance?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Supposedly dicing signifies loyalty to the British Crown. It's a common legend that I've read everywhere on the Internet, but I've yet to see any real documentation for. I asked a friend of mine who was from Scotland and served in the Royal Scots, and he said he had never heard of any negative connotations with dicing before.
