Balmoral
From age 12 to 46 years i have worn a wedge cap, glengarry, forage cap, beret and other miscellaneous head dress all sporting what i could refer to as my "clan badge".
Over a decade has passed and i recently discovered my Scottish heritage (adopted, DNA dad was of Scottish ancestry). All of this may be why i find the balmoral so interesting and appealing. As earlier stated, it can also be an introduction to wearing other attire for some one lacking the confidence but having the desire to go "full kilt". Even if it's only worn for special occasions such as Remembrance Day, Tartan Day, Guy Fawkes Night, St Andrews Day, Highland games and Hogmanay (others?). But i will always remain very proud of the name my adopted father gave me and the heritage that comes with it.
