Scottish Hats Collection

A kilt outfit is complete when you wear the essential accessories such as Scottish Hats. with 4.7* positive customer reviews, we have been serving customers for more than 20 years. We stock two types, the Glengarry and Balmoral, and each one has been worn for a different reason across Highland history. Some suit a wedding. Others are better suited to a Highland games day or just wearing with pride on St Andrew's Day. Whether you're looking for hats in Scotland or ordering from anywhere else our Highland collection covers every occasion.

Choose Your Style from Glengarry and Balmoral

Glengarry

Glengarry hats have a boat-like shape with a crease running down the crown. The diced band closed around the bottom, the toorie featuring on top and ribbons draped over the sides of the back. Scottish Caps have become so popular they are actually worn at Highland games, pipe band parades, weddings and even for Burns Night.

Balmoral

It is flatter and rounder than the Glengarry, and you can wear it with a slight tilt rather than sitting straight. It comes with a toorie, and sometimes a diced band too, but the overall feel is softer and ideal for your formal or casual event.

Pairing Hats With the Rest of Your Outfit

Wondering what goes with what? Here's roughly how it breaks down.

If you're heading to a black-tie wedding, Burns Night, pipe band events, St Andrew's Day, or something properly formal, Glengarry hats paired with a jacket from our Prince Charlie jackets are your strongest combination. The structure of both pieces plays well together.

For something a step down in formality, say a daytime wedding or a pipe band appearance, swap the jacket for an Argyll and keep the Glengarry.

Want something more relaxed? A Balmoral hat works nicely with a Tweed jacket, or even just a casual kilt outfit on its own, good for a Highland games or just wearing out of Scottish pride.

The Balmoral also holds up fine in semi-formal settings if you pair it with an Argyll jacket and want a softer look than the Glengarry gives.

And if kilt formalwear isn't really the goal, our tartan caps in patterns like Royal Stewart or Buchanan give you an easier, everyday option instead.

What Goes Into Making One

If you're wondering why a Scottish bonnet costs what it does, it comes down to the details. The toorie on top isn't just there for decoration, its colour often connects back to a specific tradition or regimental style. The diced band, that checkerboard tartan pattern circling the base, comes in a couple of colourways here, red and white, or black and white. Then there are the ribbons trailing off the back, which finish the traditional look. None of these are throwaway details, they're what makes an Irish hat look like a Highland hat rather than a costume piece.

Matching Your Clan Tartan

If your family tartan isn't sitting in our current range, that's not the end of it. You can order the Scottish hat that matches your outfit. Right now we stock Royal Stewart, Black Watch, Buchanan, and Irish Green as standard, but reaching out about a specific clan tartan is something we do regularly.
