WW2 ROYAL SCOTS SPORRAN
The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment of Scotland) and its predecessor regiments, such as The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) and the Royal Scots Fusiliers, have traditionally used distinctive sporrans, particularly for their pipe bands.
Key types of sporrans associated with the Royal Scots and their affiliates include:
- Royal Scots Piper's Sporran: Traditionally a white horsehair sporran with two black horsehair tassels, often featuring a distinct silver regimental crest cantle (sometimes with a black enamel background).
- Military Horsehair Sporran: The Royal Regiment of Scotland (RRS) pipers and drummers typically use long white horsehair sporrans, often featuring Celtic design cones on the tassels.
- Officer/Dress Sporran: For formal dress, officers and senior ranks might wear fur sporrans (such as seal or leopard skin historically) with silver or gilt cantles, featuring the thistle badge or the regiment's insignia.
- Service/Day Sporran: A simpler black or brown leather sporran, often used for daily duties or less formal occasions.
