The law discourages you from wearing uniform items that are still in use by the Armed Forces if you are no longer serving but we sneak our old berets on anyway and there is zero chance of enforcement.

Wore my glengarry in the parade along with ever other member of clan Murray that followed the Murray of At hill up fifth avenue. Felt quite appropriate. Well the ladies did not wear it to be more precise.

Well, I learn something every day! I have never seen/noticed a leather pocket watch strap worn like that before, O.C.R.. Humm, I am not at all sure that I am too keen with the look though.

I just watched two, old Canadian Veterans wearing their uniform Glengarrys in the crowd as the King honoured the Canadian National War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in downtown Ottawa a few hours ago. They looked distinguished and great as old soldiers should.

My MacGlashan family came from Blair Atholl and one of my kilts is the "Atholl District" .
My family were Jacobite way past the time when they should have given up that cause.
