British Cameronians Scottish Rifles Green Glengarry

The British Cameronians Scottish Rifles Green Glengarry is a traditional military headdress associated with the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), a distinguished infantry regiment of the British Army. This glengarry features a dark green wool body, consistent with regimental color distinctions, and is typically adorned with a black silk ribbon trailing from the back. The headdress includes a dicing band—often a black and red checkered pattern—and eyelets for attaching a regimental cap badge and hackle, though these items may not be present. The interior is generally lined for comfort and bears the appropriate manufacturer’s mark or government stamp. Worn as part of the regiment’s dress uniform from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, the green glengarry served as both a practical and ceremonial headpiece. It remains a recognizable element of Scottish military dress, reflecting the history and traditions of the Cameronians regiment within the context of British military heritage.
