The Balmoral bonnet, also known as the Balmoral cap or the Kilmarnock bonnet, is the perfect finishing touch for your highland dress outfit. You can wear it either casually or with a formal highland dress outfit.
The bonnet itself dates back to the 16th century, when it is believed to have been a knitted, felt, wool cap. Today the Balmoral bonnet is smaller and made of of finer cloth. It now has ribbons attached to the back of it and is topped off with a toorie, which is traditionally red.
