Canadian Scottish Highland Balmoral Size 7 1/4 Red White Green Diced

The Canadian Scottish Highland Balmoral is a traditional military headdress, commonly associated with Highland regiments. This example is sized at 7 1/4 and features a distinctive diced band in red, white, and green. The diced pattern is a key element of Scottish military headgear, serving both decorative and regimental identification purposes. Typically constructed from wool, the Balmoral has a soft, flat crown and is often worn slightly tilted. The Canadian Scottish Regiment, formed in 1912, has maintained many elements of traditional Scottish military dress, with the Balmoral being a prominent component. Items such as this are characteristic of formal dress uniforms and have been used in parades, ceremonies, and other official occasions. The red, white, and green diced band may indicate a specific regimental association or ceremonial use within Canadian Scottish military traditions. This Balmoral provides a representative example of mid-20th century military headgear used by Canadian Highland units.
