I'm rather fair and would like not to end the day as red as my scarlet flashes, nor would I like to flirt with heat stroke.
Our summertime temps are usually 95-100F. This is what I wear, kilted or not. I'm more concerned about practicality than being historically accurate. I think my Scottish ancestors would agree.
