    I guess it depends upon the church.

    Ours (an outreach church, e.g. street ministry etc) has a real liberal dress code, and we get a real mix, from dressed up to the nines to ultra casual (cargo shorts, tee-shirts, ball caps & flip-flops), to everything in between.

    As such, some folks take off their headwear, and others leave them on.
    If wearing a bonnet I have been known to leave it on (except during prayer), and if I'm "cowboy'ed" up then the 10 1/2 gallon (I never do anything small ) comes off & stays off through out.

    I am retired from the USAF.
    I feel comfortable using the same rules that apply to wearing a hat when in uniform.

    Glasgow32, are you asking about the Scottish custom regarding the wearing of bonnets indoors, or about the American tradition re: wearing hats inside when one is wearing Highland dress? I can't give you an answer for the second, but with reference to the first, a definite, firm, unequivocal NO. In Scotland we always listen to our grandmothers because they know!

    Rex is right--and so are our grandmothers!

    Please take your bonnet off indoors, especially in church. Gentlemen would never do otherwise.

    This American of Scottish descent always listened to his grandmother as well, Rex. She would have said NO also to such a question.

    Hats in Church

    The tradition of the Christian Church concerning the wearing of hats (or other head coverings) is based on an understanding, and often a deal of misunderstanding, of the Apostle Paul's letter to Corinth (1 Corinthians, chapter 11). The tradition is that men do not wear hats in Church and always remove them whether inside or outside when preying or preaching.
    It's coming yet for a' that,
    That Man to Man, the world o'er,
    Shall brothers be for a' that. - RB

    When I have played my pipes inside a church, I go uncovered because a pseudo-military uniform, such as one of my kits is, is not true military.

    No hat in church, or someone's home, or the private areas of a public building.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Historically speaking, Bonnets were worn indoors until the Victorian era. Today it would be considered rude.
