Are we sure the kilts are being made in Scotland? Many of the Scottish kilt shops have been bought out by Pakistans, (who still use the previous owners name) and the kilts are being made in Pakistan.........and they are not even wool kilts.

I work for an Edinburgh based kilt shop and this is a sore point with my boss. When buying a kilt you have to be careful that what you are buying is the real McCoy.

From the BBC report...............

"Glenisla Kilts in Motherwell will make the outfits with the material provided by Robert Noble of Peebles. "

I just got my kilt a few weeks ago and that was made down in the foothills of the Ochils, I think it was Tillicoultry. McCalls have a workshop there and they are all made in that little place. You can even have a wee peak into the workshop.
