Scottish Cadets Badge Backing? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I recently acquired a nice Scottish Cadets badge, and am wondering if they wore any kind of tartan or other backing behind it.

It came with several new badges and I will be taking pictures shortly and adding them to my album.

Thanks for any help with this! I believe I know the answer, but wanted to run it by you all as there are many here that know more than I'll ever know!

They had a black ribbon backing.

John,

How interesting. I wonder what the yellow designates. Usually when I see yellow in connection with Scottish military I think of the Gordon Highlanders, that being their facing color and also the stripe in their tartan.

Thanks for the heads-up!

The yellow could be an area colour . The Scottish div signs of a similar period were all pretty much alike but had different colours for each area.
