Description

The Boots and Tam O'Shanter Bronze Resin Statue from John Bull Clothing is a poignant tribute to Scottish military heritage. This finely crafted piece features a pair of well-worn boots topped with a traditional Tam o' Shanter cap, symbolising the enduring spirit and sacrifice of Scottish soldiers.

The Tam O'Shanter, often abbreviated as ToS, is a flat, woollen bonnet adorned with a pom-pom, known as a toorie, at its centre. Its name derives from the eponymous hero of Robert Burns' 1790 poem, "Tam o' Shanter." 

Historically, the Tam O'Shanter became standard issue for Scottish regiments during World War I, replacing the Glengarry as more practical headgear in the trenches.

The cap's design allowed for warmth and comfort, essential for soldiers enduring harsh conditions. Distinctive coloured hackles, or feather plumes, were often added to the ToS to denote different battalions within a regiment.

This statue serves as a meaningful keepsake for veterans, serving personnel, or military enthusiasts, commemorating the vital role of Scottish soldiers and their distinctive attire. Each statue offers the option of free engraving, allowing for personalisation to honour specific individuals or units. Please specify text before Adding to Basket
