Differences between Tam O'Shanter vs Balmoral

Here in Canada, the Highland regiments which wear the regimental TOS refer to it as a balmoral. The rest of us just called it an "elephant slipper".

Somehow I seem to get the impression that the larger TOS are not well liked... Such is life.

I wouldn't say that. The rest of the Canadian Army wore berets, so the TOS just stood out and begged for a nickname, hell a good lot of them (those of the Highland regt) called it the same.
