Diced Glengarry.

[PatrickHughes123]

Hello all.

I have read some information about the origin of the diced trim in the Glengarry but there's a lot of different theories. Is there any accepted theory about when and why it's wear for the Scott's?
Why the solo pipers don't wear it?
Thanks to all.

A lot of people have said that the dicing shows allegiance to Britain. And I am beginning to believe that, that is why if I ever get another Balmoral, I will buy one with blue dicing, to signify allegiance to Scotland and Scotland only. But I came across an interesting picture, which is below, of Bonnie Prince Charlie wearing a diced bonnet with a white cockade which at the time was a Jacobite symbol. So surely that must mean the dicing is actually a Stewart symbol, but at the same time I can see why people believe the myth about it being a sign of allegiance to Britain.
