    My understanding is that Britain consists of England, Wales, and Scotland.

    While the United Kingdom adds Northern Ireland.

    What would seem to logically follow is that the English, Scottish, and Welsh are all British.

    But the Northern Irish are...what? UK-ians?

    In like manner Canadians, Mexicans, Bolivians, Brazilians etc are just as American as people from the USA are.

    So what specifically refers to people from the USA? USA-ians? (It's probably why so many non-USA-ians refer to us as Yankees, so as to differentiate us from all the other Americans.)

    Though very much in the minority flat caps/newsboy caps/etc are seen in the old days.

    (The vast majority of kilted men in old photos are wearing either Balmorals or Glengarries, the latter also being deemed unsuitable nowadays.)

    I wouldn't know what to call the caps worn by the estate ghillies. I see caps like that called "Greek fishermen hats" "fiddler caps" and "skipper caps"
