I do agree with the previous comments about why one should avoid wearing a feather in a bonnet during Scottish/Highland Scottish events, especially when there is so much else one can put in their cap. I personally like the way the feather gives the bonnet a "streamline" appearance. However, not being an armiger, I avoid wearing a feather with my bonnets and tams. Instead I put the Dandelion that I bought from Mr. Ashton in and give the leaf's a similar look. There are other clans that have plant badges that can have the same effect, Clan Cameron for example has the Oak leaf, and I see that as almost more appealing than a feather.
