Glengarry Question

I have in the past had this discussion and that of the red pom with Robert Mackies, the last traditional bonnet makers left in Scotland, they are blissfully unaware of any such significance to the dicing, be it red/black/ or red/green/black or any other colour combination.
Just put it down to the myths that surround the wearing of the kilt

Quite right, Chris. I have heard of this myth surrounding the dicing on Highland bonnets and to me, it's simply rubbish, and not to be taken seriously. Wear whatever Highland headwear you prefer, be it a Glengarry or a Balmoral. My only suggestion is to go with Robert Mackie as your official bonnet maker.

Cheers,
