Default johnnie walker band ?

I have had this badge for a while and have always assumed that it was worn by the Johnnie Walker distillery band ( if there is such a thing ) It has a look of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders badge.
I wonder if there is a vacancy for a tone - deaf triangle player ?
Mike

Hello Mike

Very nice badge and if it's any help, there was/is (?) a Johnnie Walker's Pipe Band, so you may not be too far off the mark!

A stunning little item Mike, thanks for sharing.
As a matter of interest, did you know that the Wirral Pipe Band wear a A&SH glengarry with red and white dicing and a Cameron cap badge (or did do at one time). No doubt if one of these ever appeared on the forum it would raise a few eyebrows ! All the very best. Jeff

PS: Looking at their site now, it looks as if they have changed to the Seaforth's garb.
