Balmoral Bonnet, Scotland

A black wool Balmoral bonnet with a red toorie on the crown, ribbon tails at the back and a clan crest badge pinned to the cockade. This flat, brimless Scottish bonnet is the hat of Highland dress: pipers, Highland games competitors and wedding guests in kilts wear it, and Scottish regiments have worn versions of it for generations. Its softer, floppier cousin is the tam o' shanter, named after the hero of the Robert Burns poem.
