If I was in Scotland I would rarely need a hat to keep the sun off my balding pate.
But here, it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the sun fair beats doon on ma heid.
I wear baseball caps as there is usually one close to hand. I wear straw Panama Jacks in the height of summer, usually after I found myself needing some neck protection. I wear either with kilt or pants and don't even start to second guess myself.
I do not wear balmorals or glengarries or any other type of traditional Scottish head wear. That to me is usually the line at which the look of the kilt goes from "something to wear for the day" to "anachronistic costume".
However, I would never look down on anyone kilted be they baseball cap, flat cap, balmoral or knotted hanky wearing as some of you seem to be doing. Immature? Yikes.
To each his own.
Daft Wullie, ye do hae the brains o’ a beetle, an’ I’ll fight any scunner who says different!
