My new (soon to be) kilt pin

I have a NS Highlander badge just like that in my Canadian Scottish Regiments badge collection. That is a great find and what a great personal connection -- I know you'll wear it with pride.

You could also wear it as a cap badge, it's original design, on a balmoral or glengarry, with a swatch of MacDonald tartan behind it, the regimental tartan.

The Novas have a very nice regimental museum web site (which I'm sure you've seen) here:

And, there's a great colour image of the badge on T.F. Mills's site:

Again, great find!

Cheers,

Todd

I have a balmoral, but really don't wear it - it (the dicing) has really become a venue to showcase games pins.

Thanks! I had never seen the colour image, and never realized that what I referred to as the crest with the Lion Rampant is actually the Provencial COA. Very cool, and adds even more.
