I take note of Hamish's words and whilst it is usually the country set in Scotland that wear a deer stalker,they do not necessarily go deer stalking.In another thread a while ago now,I made the comment that most Scots and most kilted Scots prefer to go bareheaded and I have seen little,even in some dire weather recently,to dissuade them of that habit. Hamish you are in good company there. I have also said, in the past here, that the balmoral is the most traditional head wear for a gentleman wearing the kilt to wear in Scotland, but as I have already said, bareheaded wins hands down. I have also said that some kilted gentlemen in Scotland do wear either a "fore and aft" or a deer stalker and that is true. Not every body's cup of tea, I grant you, but I think that Jamie has proved to most, that the deer stalker and the kilt go well together.
