Clan Chiefs at the Gathering

[Jock Scot]

I wear a Jacobite cockade in my bonnet, and have often wondered how would folks regard it when I next go across the pond. Well I just noticed that MacTavish is sporting one. Although he is from Canada. Any thoughts.

I think most of us when we see the Jacobite cockade, which is rare, we think, "oh where are they filming today", or, "there goes another tourist". I think you need to understand two things, firstly, a bonnet is not often worn by the locals and secondly the Jacobite cause is not necessarily a universally liked cause in Scotland and certainly in the highlands, surprisingly perhaps to some, it is not a cause that is ever mentioned.In fact, I would go as far to say, that many make a point of not talking about it.
