For Capercaillie fans

As you may know the musical group Capercaillie is named after a bird which is native to the Highlands of Scotland. The capercaillie happens to be highly endangered. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has issued a capercaillie tartan with a percentage of the sales going to efforts to protect the capercaillie. Here is a link to their online store, and a picture of the tartan.


This style of cap is called a tam o'shanter.
