Ok from, The games & diversions of Argyleshire, at that link I posted. And it isn't really a high quality scan, either.
Dinging the Bonnets
Any number of boys pile their bonnets on the top of each other, and form themselves into a ring, taking each others' hands, the pile of bonnets being in the centre. They then drag each other, swaying and swerving backward and forward ; the object being to bring one or other into collision with the bonnets, so as to tumble them. When one tumbles them, he goes out of the ring, the pile is made up again, and they go on as before, until the number left in the ring is reduced to the lowest practicable limit.
They're Jocking the bonnets!
* Jocking: as in Jock Scot beating his bonnet into shape.
