Default 5th Battalion Cameronians

Can anyone help with this one? I think it's 5th Bn Cameronians, but from when?

Yep, 5th Battalion. Bloomer states "1908-20".

Hello,
This badge was only worn in the Peaked Cap. This was a Grey/Blue colour with whirte and Grey/Blue dicing band, similar in style to that worn by the Scots Guards.
By 1914 the battalion was wearing Rifle Green/Dark Green Glengarrys with the standard Scottish Rifles badge on it, so it seem that your badge had fallen into disuse by then.
I will have a search about and see if I can find out when this change over happened
