Canadian Lorne Scots Red/White/Black Diced Glengarry

The Canadian Lorne Scots Red/White/Black Diced Glengarry is a traditional headdress associated with the Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment) of the Canadian Army Reserve. This style of glengarry is distinguished by its distinct red, white, and black diced band, which encircles the woolen body of the cap. The glengarry features a black ribbon tail at the rear and a black toorie (pom-pom) on top, standard elements of this type of Scottish military headwear. The diced band is a key identifier of regimental affiliation and is prominent in Scottish and Canadian regimental dress uniforms. The glengarry has been worn as part of formal and ceremonial attire, most often during parades, commemorative events, and regimental functions. This example reflects the regimental dress tradition of the Lorne Scots and provides insight into Canadian Scottish military heritage and uniform practices from the 20th century onwards.
