    The balmoral bonnet(best not to call it a hat) for country wear and country pursuits-----shooting, fishing in particular, when there is a strong wind.

    Two particularly windy days! Why no kilt? I rarely wear the kilt outwith Scotland. But for very special people I do make an exception.

    In truth though most go bare headed with or without the kilt from day to day and its fair to say for country pursuits the kilt is not often worn in Scotland/UK. Tweed plus 4's and breeks are the most usual choice worn with a flat cap, or fore and aft, or deerstalker.
