A boat-shaped Scottish cap that birthed a Pulitzer play about ruthless salesmen.
means A traditional Scottish cap of thick woollen cloth, creased flat down the middle into a boat-like shape, often worn with ribbons trailing at the back and frequently part of Highland or military dress.
from Named after Glengarry, a glen in the Scottish Highlands — Gleann Garadh in Gaelic, roughly 'the glen of Garry,' the river that runs through it. The cap is traditionally credited to the local clan MacDonell of Glengarry, whose Highland followers in the early 19th century are said to have favoured the style, and the place-name simply stuck to the headgear, as place-names so often do.
