The archetypal Scottish hat, the Balmoral, is a modern version of the original Highlanders 'blue bonnet'. With it's impressive voluminous top and comfortable diced band, its easy to see why the Balmoral has remained a powerful piece of the traditional highland outfit.
The hat of choice of the famous Black Watch regiment, the Balmoral will look equally impressive with your full dress highland outfit. The Balmoral is traditionally worn slanted toward to the right to show off the Black ribbon on the left side, the perfect place for you to attach your clan badge.
The traditional red toorie, or pompom, is complimented by the red diced band which once associated with Protestantism, but which today is simply a fashion choice. Made in Scotland from Pure New Wool, this Balmoral hat is a top quality highland accessory that will be the pride of your formal highland outfit for years to come.

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
