Rosettes...are styles period specific?

Thanks for that link...and the nice pics as well. Not to divert the discussion away from rosettes/cockades on headgear (oh wait...it's my thread and I guess I have that right), but I've admired those panels (believe the A&SH also wore one similar prior to the amalgamation into RRoS) in particular and have toyed with the idea of putting some sort of rosettes or bows on the BW kilt I will be making.

As you can see, the Calgary Highlanders still wear the kilt panel. My clan society sponsors the Buchan Pipe Band in Scotland, and they wear rosettes as kilt pins as well.

About the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders/Calgary kilt panel and rosettes, I have a postcard of a Police Pipe Band from the 1970's (probably either the Glasgow Police or Edinburgh Police) and the Pipe Major's kilt has an embroidery pattern exactly like that but done in red thread upon the Royal Stuart kilt.

It's the only time I've seen anything like that.
