Original Item. Only One Available. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) is a light infantry company (designated as Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland) and was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1881 until amalgamation into the Royal Regiment of Scotland on 28 March 2006.

The glengarry bonnet, or side cap, is a traditional Scots cap made of thick-milled woollen material, decorated with a toorie (small pom pom) on top, frequently a rosette cockade on the left side, and ribbons hanging behind. It is normally worn as part of Scottish military or civilian Highland dress, either formal or informal, as an alternative to the Balmoral bonnet or tam o' shanter. For many years it was the standard headgear of all highland regiments in the British Army, except for the Black Watch, who retained a blue Balmoral Bonnet.

This example is in good service-worn condition, with heavy wear on the inside and out. The inside liner is split along most of the top. It has the correct red, white, and black "diced" checkerboard pattern on the sides, with a nice rosette on the left side. Attached to this is a very nice Cap Badge from the The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders regiment.

The regiment was created under the Childers Reforms in 1881, as the Princess Louise's (Sutherland and Argyll Highlanders), by the amalgamation of the 91st (Argyllshire Highlanders) Regiment of Foot and 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, amended the following year to reverse the order of the "Argyll" and "Sutherland" sub-titles. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was expanded to fifteen battalions during the First World War (1914–1918) and nine during the Second World War (1939–1945). The 1st Battalion served in the 1st Commonwealth Division in the Korean War and gained a high public profile for its role in Aden during 1967.
