Thank you, Jock, that's what I have been searching for, too. The flat cap is often seen in the Highlands, just never with Highland dress. I think you have hit on the subconscious reason: it does not belong but purports to. Well, that and it makes one's head look pin-like and out-of-balance with the volume of the kilt
