    We were in St. Andrews the other day, it is not somewhere that we visit often, but as always, the place never fails to impress. You have your answer in the posts above and whilst bareheaded is the usual choice, if the weather happens to be as as grim on the day, as it was a few days ago, then a balmoral would be a wise consideration! Have fun.

    I was just going to say that, Jock! The "foul weather rule" is something to follow: dress for the weather!

    So long as you remember that the "weather" is outdoors.

    I remember that about 20 years ago weather was pretty much indoors in our house. And many parts of our houses headgear were on the car infront of it.

    Hope you'll have nice weather .

    An umbrella might do you more good than a hat.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    We actually changed to an hard-hat. Tile beats umbrella

    I've never used an umbrella in Scotland cause they tend to turn inside out. If you get rain it's quite likely that you get wind with it.

    An umbrella is very much a useful addition to the wet weather armoury, but the wind can be disasterous.
