Anyone wear any feathers in their hats?


I have mildly read about certain numbers of eagle feathers worn by clan chiefs in Scotland...but I wonder if anyone has taken to wearing any bird feathers for any reason. Some older photos can show some really tall feathers sticking up from caps.


One day I wore a really large crow feather in my hat when I went to the local Saturday market. I have a bit of a thing for crow feathers.... I typically wear smaller crow feathers in my rolled up shirt sleeves representing the Norse ravens of Odin named Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory). That's my own personal symbolic reasoning (not Celtic but Norse) which I'm currently attracted to.

(I collect crow feathers I find when out and about)

I just ordered a nice bronze raven pendant from ebay which I'll get eventually.... I guess currently I'm attracted to ravens/crows mostly.



Anyone wear any feathers for any particular reasoning?


(sorry if this is off topic... but I feel it is connected to some historic Scottish customs I have seen references to)
