Trivia
- While this hat is named the 'Glengarry Bonnet', in fact its shape makes it an example of the Template:W-like Tam o'Shanter (often abbreviated TOS and lovingly pronounced 'toss'). The Template:W is a more boat-shaped hat similar to a Template:W. The colour scheme of the Demoman's hat (especially with the default RED trim) is closer to that of 'Balmoral bonnet' dress-uniform versions of the military TOS, or the usual colours of a Glengarry, than to the colours (mucky green, no headband) of a working-dress military TOS.
- Scottish line infantry units wore the TOS and Glengarry throughout (and before) the 20th century and down to the present; some Commonwealth regiments with Scottish connections have also adopted them. The Demoman is wearing his TOS in a proper military fashion, with the badge on the left near the ear and the cap flopped over onto the right, though the headband might be a bit low. Civilianised versions of the Balmoral (and the Glengarry) are also worn as part of formal Highland dress.
- So: the Glengarry Bonnet is not a Glengarry bonnet, but it is a Scottish bonnet, while the Scotch Bonnet is not a Scottish bonnet. This will be on the test.
