    My hat for those sunny days in this sunburnt country. It's lightweight and cool and gives 100% protection (Me on the left)

    My advice would be to wear whatever type of hat you would normally wear, irrespective of what else you are wearing - kilt or those other things. There are no rules beyond what is currently in fashion if you are a close follower of trends.
    If, however, you are trying to appear as though you are a Scottish person, temporarily re-located to Colorado, then I can't really help you beyond saying what is usual hereabouts. The usual headgear here at the moment (winter) is a close-fitting woollen hat that keeps your ears warm although I am usually to be seen in a flat cap except when fishing when I wear a deerstalker. I did wear a Balmoral once but the sympathetic looks I received persuaded me against persisting with it. Hat-wearing is not so popular nowadays as it was 30-40 years ago and, lacking your ferocious sunshine, not such an imperative here.
