British King’s Own Scottish Borderers Diced Glengarry

The British King’s Own Scottish Borderers Diced Glengarry is a traditional military headdress associated with the Scottish Borderers regiment of the British Army. Characterized by its navy blue wool body with distinctive red, white, and blue dicing along the band, this Glengarry features a black silk ribbon at the rear and may include a black toorie (pom). The front is commonly adorned with a King’s Own Scottish Borderers cap badge, typically depicting regimental symbols in metal. The Glengarry’s design is tailored for practicality, offering a foldable construction suited for field and parade wear. Worn as part of both service and full dress uniforms, the diced pattern is emblematic of Lowland Scottish regiments. The use of the Glengarry in the King’s Own Scottish Borderers reflects the regiment’s heritage, traditions, and Scottish identity, with this style originating in the 19th century and remaining in ceremonial use into modern times.
