The trick is the sizing, at least for somebody like me with a big head, 62 in UK sizing.
Feather bonnets are made to exact sizes, just as Glengarries and Balmorals are.
Anyhow here's several of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders feather bonnets being worn
And here in action, the last days of the Argylls... but they've come back before!

In their current Public Duties role, the pared-down "incremental company" (Balaclava Company)
The pipes & drums appear to be those of 4 SCOTS (The Highlanders)

which makes me wonder what happened to the pipes & drums of 5 SCOTS. One would think in their ceremonial role having their own pipes & drums would be necessary.
