Feather bonnet age?

[OC Richard]

The Camerons/Queens Own Highlanders/Highlanders/ successively all wore the blue hackle on their glens. Cameronians wore black with certain orders of dress with both the glen and TOS. The RSDG pipes and drums wear white hackles with glens in certain orders of dress.

Thanks for the info!

I found this pic showing the RSDG wearing white hackles; I assume this is called No1 Dress, as opposed to their Full Dress with feather bonnets and bearskins



I can't find any images of Cameron Highlanders (of Scotland) wearing blue hackles in Glens or TOS, but I did find this pic of The Cameron Highlanders Of Ottawa wearing them



Here are various members of The Cameron Highlanders (of Scotland) in 1939 and I don't see hackles, but then again they're in Service Dress, not Full Dress (which of course calls for feather bonnets)


What strikes my eye as looking odd is when people dress up in "Black Watch" uniforms wearing red hackles in their Glengarries which I can't recall seeing the actual Black Watch doing.
