A striking piece of traditional British Army Highland dress, this feather bonnet is the iconic headdress associated with Scotland's kilted Highland regiments.
Constructed around a lightweight frame and covered in feathers, the bonnet is finished with a regimental diced headband, plume and distinctive hanging feather tails. The exact colours and arrangement vary according to regiment, making the details particularly interesting to collectors of Scottish military dress.
The feather bonnet has a long history within Highland military dress, developing from the traditional Scottish bonnet and becoming an established feature of Highland regimental full dress during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was worn by Highland regiments on campaign as well as on parade, although by the late 19th century its use had increasingly become associated with ceremonial dress.
