Well yes, but as we are dressing in civilian attire and most of us are neither Military or pipers, why is one bonnet more formal than the other? Are we discussing an American interpretation of reality here? I only ask out of interest, as it seems to me that many interpretations of what happens in Scotland and America differ so, such as St Andrews Day, St Patricks Day, Kirkin the Tartan, Tartan Day and on smaller scale, dirks being worn at weddings, various ceremonies at weddings, that seem such a big deal over there and is often a non event over here?
