I was wondering, from a modern Scot's view, what is the general opinion in Scotland of the white cockade in everyday wear? Is it akward that this gentleman is talking to the PoW and wearing it? I know he's not technically a Hannover, but only technically.

Not a worry. There are few Scots or English who think of those days with fondness and longing. Most of us think of the white bits of fabric in the bonnets as flags belonging to folk who Darwined in the mid-18C. Or, with typical Scots' tolerance for absence of knowledge, a smile and a nod.

You did ask, YoungMan.
