It's unlikely you'll find a flat cap in the mix though, it's just not currently fashionable.

If you're after practical headwear to keep the sun (or rain) off your bonce and are not to pulsed about the whys and wherefores, any ol' hat will do.

Traditional Kilting - traditional hat (Google "Robert Mackie Bonnets"). Casual Kilting - casual hat... it's easy. Whatever floats your boat. But as with most things Kilt, you can't mix and match and still be traditional. 'Tis one ort' t'other I'm afraid.
