It's an Atholl bonnet.
Worn by the Lovat Scouts, Scottish Horse and the private Army of the Atholl Highlanders, I think that's it, others will probably know more than me.
Hope this helps

Yes,its an Atholl bonnet. Dont think its to the Lovats though. Im sure theres has a lighter blue toorie (bobble) and a blue and white chequered band.
I have a feeling it could be Seaforth. I have an image from the 60s of it being worn. Need to check .

Hi Mike, Hope you can help, very confused at present. Someone told me it could be 6th Bn HLI?

Paul,it could be. Some items were worn by more than one regiment or battalion within a regiment.
Is there any sign that a badge has been fixed to it at any time ? A shadow in the cloth or holes in it ?

Hi There clearly has been a badge there before with two lugs at 09 and 03 hrs no outline thou.
