About This Work
The Glengarry Side-cap or Garrison Cap is a traditional Scottish folding cap made of thick wool with a black rosette or a tartan patch on the side which is often overlaid with the Regimental Insignia. There may be a decorative upright feather or feathers known as a '"hackle" pinned behind the patch and insignia. On the top is a round, usually red pom-pom or "toorie." See below:
