The St. Andrew's University UOTC, prior to becoming the St Andrews and Dundee UOTC following the formation of Dundee University in 1967, had distinct headdress for its different members.

I was able to purchase the officer balmoral some time ago.

Several years ago, before I had researched the UOTC's headgear, I saw a blue bonnet with red and black dicing. However, I thought it was a civilian bonnet and did not buy it, something I regret as I have never seen another offered for sale. I have never seen the glengarry offered for sale.

If you have an example of any of the headdress worn by the UOTC from this period, please add to the thread! And if you are a St. Andrews UOTC alumni and know where to find any examples, please let me know!
