    Very sharp, Alex! I've got the Ian Grant site in my bookmarks and occasionally drool over their products; you're a lucky man with a beautiful crest.

    As for keeping it vertical, you might try tucking a small piece of card inside the hatband (on the inside of the bonnet) and pinning it through both the hat and the card. I don't think you'd actually feel the card, but it should help to keep the pin upright.

    Used that trick in the Army to keep my medals straight on my Class-A uniform. Great suggestion!

    lives up to the motto

    That's a sweet badge and I like the fact that you'll always have the requisite feather without having to bother any poor eagles.

    Crest Badge

    Very well done, Alex. You chose one of the two best silversmiths in Scotland (I used the other, Roddy Young of Inverness).

    I have not forgotten the eagle feather; I have not crossed the border yet !
