Aye! Bonnets are bonnie, balmoral or glen... Tis just as smart now as e'er it was then.
-
knit hat with a toorie won't suit me, I'm sorry, I'd rather just bare my head.
-
I wear other hats, be they cowboy or flats, baseball or tilley, no headdress is silly.
-
Depends on the day, I'm happy to say, I've worn all of them and shall do so again!

Other, see my post below!

I voted for the first option. Whilst in Highland day attire, I always wear a Robert Mackie Balmoral bonnet with either a diced or plain band. The only time I do not wear a Balmoral is when I am wearing a casual jumper and/or collared shirt without a tie with the kilt. I always have my proper clan badge, in silver, affixed to the cockade and sometimes will tuck a sprig of white heather or boxwood (plant badges of the Clan Macpherson) behind the badge.
Cheers,

I am also follicly challenged and opt for the balmoral when the weather is cooler (it gets cold up there!) and a Tilley or panama in the warmer seasons.

I've been searching for a bonnet without a toorie. I like the look of balmorals, and would like to wear one, but me and toories don't see eye to eye.
Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!

A toorie is quite easily removed. One of our terriers can do it in just a few seconds. However, a Balmoral is something else without one, and a toorie which matches the bonnet is not at all obtrusive.

You wear the kilt outside Scotland in a country of a multitude of cultures, few of which understand the kilt -------and you worry about a toorie?

Why not just buy a beret?
