Even if I had thought the same thing about your bonnet, I hope I would have had the good sense and common decency to my fellow man to not call you out in public as he did in an attempt to berate. This pointe alone boils my blood! It is ignorant and arrogant and smacks of British Imperialism, which in my opinion is the absolute opposite of Gaelic/Celtic culture! Needless to say the fellow didn' t know what he was talking about, and it was certainly not his place to question your dignity or honour.
So guid on ye for carrying on our Gaelic heritage.
Please, let's not Brit-bash here. These customs being discussed deal with Scottish heraldic customs which were in place long before the Union of the Crowns and the creation of the United Kingdom.
