What is "balmoral"?

Balmoral is a type of cap that is often associated with Scottish heritage. It has a round, flat-topped shape with a stiffened brim that projects outwards from the base. The hat is typically made from wool and has a decorative pom-pom or toorie on top. Originally worn by Scottish Highlanders as a form of headgear for outdoor activities, such as hunting and hiking, the Balmoral has since become a popular fashion accessory. It is often seen as part of traditional Scottish dress and is sometimes worn as a part of military uniforms or by marching bands.
