Scottish Beret Tam - Diced

The woollen bonnet is thought to have arrived in Scotland through scholars returning home from the centres of learning on the continent during the 16th century. In a country where the weather could change at the drop of a hat, the bonnet was quickly adopted and became an essential item of everyday wear.

The traditional Scots blue bonnet was made famous by the Scottish Covenanters and later by the Jacobite army of John Graham of Claverhouse ('Bonnie Dundee').
