    Todd, I would love to see a picture of the dicing used by the Toronto Scottish. I recall seeing a picture of a band member in a feather bonnet, but not a diced bonnet. Does the tan in the dicing match the brown of the Hodden Grey kilts and coats?
    And your own bonnet with its loden green dicing has caught my eye, too.
    I was fascinated yesterday to receive an e-mail from Santa Kona, with a picture of the special red bonnets that Robert Mackie makes for Clan Claus. They have red, white and green dicing, and a green headband.
    Gotta get me one of those!
    Regards,
    Mike

    Many thanks, Todd. The tan dicing does seem to match the kilts.
    And I notice that the band wears undiced bonnets. Interesting.
    Regards,
    Mike
