This is what my concern is, I mean, I have seen a picture of Bonnie Prince Charlie wearing a bonnet with a red tufty-bit on it, but I am not sure if this is the ancestor of the toorie or what. Considering the fact many did not have a toorie, but maybe he wore it to lead the Jacobites and it ACTUALLY is the case. But I made this thread trying to find a definite answer.
