    Going from memory, but I think Kathy Lare www.kathyskilts.com can make them. No clue if she'd do "just" that.

    I didn't like the black "Hanoverian" cockade that came with my Balmoral, so I just got some 2" ribbon and made one. The livery colours of my clan are red and silver (white). It is very easy to do. Just leave a space behind it to hold the clan "veggie".

    I did the same thing. It isn't hard to do.

    I just removed mine, made a tartan flash (inspired by the Scots regiments) from my clan tartan & placed my badge over that.

    They're very easy to make with some grosgrain ribbon. You could copy Lord George Murray's!

    Sorry for the misstep these were the only white cockades on ebay I too know the significance of the Jacobite White Cockade and did not intend to muddy the waters so to speak.

    We just use a bit of wide silk ribbon and it looks great.

    Another simple option is to form a St andrew's cross of doubled ribbon:

    Glen,

    No worries. Every road has its own delights.

    It's interesting seeing the differences. That said, I am glad to be on the right track now.
