Of course come the crowning of King Alex... oops I mean the voice of the down trodden masses of Scotland - I've got boot prints all over me I have - being realised through Independence you will be forced to refer to such head gear by it's proper title - a bonnet.
Beside which English won't be allowed to wear them anyway! Us Scots dont need anyone but William Wallace - you know, the English mercenary from Nesscliff near Oswestry...
On a more relevant note - they are referred to as bonnets. Like many things - form follows function - they are great on the hill and I wear them there by choice. Enjoy and stuff what anyone else thinks!
