Try not to get wet - carry a waterproof which you can grab and put on easily and quickly.

I have a ponch style Gortex cover with a hood - it is military style so about ankle length on me, I can beat my drum for anyone daft enough to be dancing in the rain, ride my bike, or even make a shelter large enough for several people to wait for better weather.

I find that a kilt is a warm garment, but sometimes requires an extra layer or two to keep the warmth in and the wet out. I am in the South of England, so it is far more important to have those extra layers in Scotland.

When away from home I often wear a long plaid, not tightly pleated but folded, so if required I can wrap it around and keep warm - I have been observed to steam when wearing this after being caught out in a shower.

The edge of a wet kilt can be very painful if it is at the wrong height. If it catches in the fold as you step over or just rubs across, the skin the back of your knee can be rubbed raw.

The top of the kneecap is the ideal height should your kilt get wet. Enough wafting to help things dry, high enough to be out of the way, enough coverage to retain some warm air.
