Balmoral Bonnet

The Balmoral Bonnet is a traditional Scottish cap that can be worn with or without Scottish Highland Dress. It is named after Balmoral Castle, a Royal residence in Scotland.

Its original form was a sort of brimless cap with a high-walled rim and a soft floppy crown. It later changed to have a lower rim and a larger, floppier crown making it resemble a sailor's tally cap. It has tapes in the rim to secure it tightly and they are worn at the back of the cap. A black bow (originally a field sign symbolizing the wearer's loyalty to the House of Hanover) or a regimental or clan badge is worn on the off side of the rim.

It traditionally was blue or navy blue in color with a colored toorie (pompom) set in the middle of the crown and with or without a diced border (usually red-and-white check) around the rim.
