The week long folk festival I attended was blisteringly hot this year and I did not see one woollen kilt - the Kernow lads and some lasses were there in their Cornish black cotton kilts, some with a white cross, variously on the apron or across the pleats, lightweight hose or none at all, white 'pirate' shirt or black tee shirt and a broad brimmed hat.

I took several kilts but wore just one, the lightest, and took a shower wearing it to freshen it up mid way through. I was going to hang it up to dry but by the time I got back to the camper, it was barely damp, so did not bother.
