Generally, the kilt is only worn in Scotland these days as formalwear, in which case a glengarry or balmoral would be the only headwear formal enough, or as a sportfan or stag-weekend-attendee, in which case hats aren't usually worn.
OTOH I wear a flat cap occasionally with a kilt, and I live in Scotland (I am Irish not Scottish though). Sounds like I am the only one
