A Scottish crest badge is a heraldic badge worn to show allegiance to an individual or membership in a specific Scottish clan. [1] Crest badges are commonly called "clan crests", but this is a misnomer ; there is no such thing as a collective clan crest, just as there is no such thing as a clan coat of arms .
The blue Glengarry currently worn by the Royal Regiment of Scotland has red, green and white dicing, a red toorie, black silk cockade and the regimental cap badge surmounted by a blackcock (Tetrao tetrix) feather.

The Balmoral bonnet (also known as a Balmoral cap or Kilmarnock bonnet) is a traditional Scottish hat that can be worn as part of formal or informal Highland dress. Developed from the earlier blue bonnet , dating to at least the 16th century, it takes the form of a knitted , soft wool cap with a flat crown.
Although referred to as a "tam", the academic tam derives from the Tudor bonnet rather than the Scottish tam o' shanter, and the cap is constructed of two pieces of either six- or eight-pointed cuts of fabric attached to a headband rather than the pie segments used in a tam o' shanter. [10]
