Nice to see this type of badge on a glengarry, sorry don't know what the letters stand for this time.

B is going to stand for band, or marching BAND.

A maybe a town

T maybe TOWN

So I guess a Scottish town band

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your comments. You could be right in thinking the badge is for a band.
The laurel wreath is a bit of a puzzle as I would have expected a thistle wreath if for a Scottish band.
Regards, John

Hi John

The dicing appears to be the red and white of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, so possibly "Argyll Town Band"? Although I agree with your point about a thistle wreath, but perhaps they did it on the cheap?

Regards

Graham
