Maybe with a sports jaiket or nylon rainproof forthe toonsers, definitely with dungarees in tcheuchterland, (and I say that affectionally, coming from a very long line of tcheuchter stock). That's only my own perspective, of course, but you don't really see young or even middle aged people in Scotland wearing a "bunnet". I've never, ever, seen one worn with a kilt in Scotland at any point ever.
    In my experience, they're worn a bit more in Ireland than here. But you've still got the average age right. I don't think Ive ever seen someone under the age of 60 wearing one.
