The bass drummers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards wear them, they were given to them by Tsar Nicholas in 1894, on him becoming the Colonel in Chief of what was then the Royal Scots Greys, who formed together with the 3rd Carabiniers (Prince of Wales' Dragoon Guards) to form the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
The hat worn by the Queen's Guard is called a bearskin hat. It is made of real bearskin and is part of the ceremonial uniform worn by the guards when on duty at royal palaces.
The standard bearskin of the British Foot Guards is made from the fur of the Canadian black bear. However, an officer's bearskin is made from the fur of the Canadian brown bear as the female brown bear has thicker fur and is dyed black.

Busby
None. Busby's are made from astrakhan lambs wool, you are thinking of the bearskin hat worn by guards at Buckingham palace. I know these are made from bearskin from bears routinely culled In Canada's national parks by rangers.

bearskinIn fact, the tall bearskin hat is called a shako.To the general public it is called a 'Busby'. I've been English for 54 years and never heard them called a 'shako', although the soldiers themselves might possibly use the term.Additional:although most refer to the bearskin hats as busby hats, busbys are actually a different type of hat which is shorter than the bearskin hat.
