About a week and a half ago I decided to have a kilted outing and visit the antique mall (The Whistle Stop) and the Scottish Tartans Museum. Shortly after arriving at the antique mall I found a found a Scottish Regiment Badge for $15. It was in excelent condition and I could tell it was geniune and not a replica. It had an interesting fastening mechanism which was incomplete. It was a mechanism I've never seen.

Anyway, I bought it, and after my visit at the Scottish Tartans Museum I decided to attach it to the second Balmoral cap I made. Before I attached it, I wanted to look it up to determine which badge it is. It is a "Highland Light Infrantry (City of Glasgow)" badge. To attach it, I had to stitch it to the bonnet, and yes it is a metallic badge, it is not a patch. It simply was the most economical way to attach the badge.

Here it is:


I have a small Royal Scots pin as well, with an interesting story attached to it. Looks like I'm now collecting Scottish military paraphernalia.
