)

,Well in Scotland Tam is very common as a shortened version of Thomas usually around Glasgow. I am not sure why that and not Tom but I guess its to do with the language and the way we talk up here........it never occured to me it may be odd compared to Tom as usually anybody I know that has been called Thomas has always been shortened to Tam rather than Tom....different places I guess.

in 1790 Robert Burns wrote a poem about Tam O' Shanter..all about a mare, drinking to much and winsome wenches.The Scottish Regiments wear a little hat with a pompom on called a Tam O' Shanter and below is a picture of a typical scott wearing one
Note..some of the more unusual posts in this thread have been from scotts 
is it any wonder they don't know what sex they are when they all look like this

Mini that looks just like my brother lol. I wear those hats to work my beard isnt quite as long right enough.
More often than not they are actually called "See You Jimmy" hats.
