Default Unknown gold anodised thistle

Gents, I'm fairly sure I put this up for comments a year or two ago with no result.

A gold anodised alluminum thistle. Its riveted to an alloy disc with a wire through it, presumably for attaching it to something.

Any suggestions?

Possibly the Highland Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland?

I have this example in gold anodised.

Hi Tim, I believe your badge is the same thistle device as seen on the old Scots guards anodised shoulder titles - albeit with different lugs.

Mine is larger than that 'thistle' and is a different design. The attachment on the rear is really peculiar.

I did wonder if it was Canadian?
