The Glengarry (seen centered on our red tunic) was made part of the uniform of the Glengarry Fencibles when they were formed in 1794 by Alexander Ranaldson MacDonell of Glengarry, of Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, who has been said to invented the cap, though it may have originated earlier when Balmoral bonnets were bent and creased. It was only in the 1850s that the glengarry became the characteristic undress headgear of the Scottish regiments of the British Army. By 1860, the glengarry without a diced border and usually with a feather had been adopted by pipers in all regiments except the 42nd (Black Watch), whose pipers wore the full dress feather bonnet. In 1914, all Scottish infantry regiments were wearing dark blue glengarries in non-ceremonial orders of dress, except for the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) who wore them in rifle green, and the Scots Guards, who wore peaked forage caps or khaki service dress caps. The glengarry is also commonly worn by civilians, notably civilian pipe bands, but can be considered an appropriate hat worn by any man or woman with Highland casual dress or day wear. In this context, it most often has a red toorie. With our Number 1 uniform(Our full dress), we wear a Red on Black feather hackle. The Black nearest the heart symbolizes the fallen members of our fire service & first responder community, while Red represents the fire service. Also seen is our cap badge backed by a swatch of the Edmonton Firefighters tartan. #traditionhonourpride #edmontonfirefighters #glengarry #edmontonfirerescue #pipesanddrumsband #rghardie #stkildastore #derksuniforms
