Kilts in the Shadows of Edinburgh Castle

Not sure if you guys have come across this one before, but here's another link:

thanks, another place to visit when we're over there.

I vaguely remember the place, but I'm sure there are folks who've been in Edinburgh since I have. I remember seeing kilts for roughly 140 pounds that I am VERY glad, I didn't get suckered into (it would have been my first tartan).

I would be interested in hearing more though.

This shop has been there for many years. When I saw it last, back in January, it was still a pretty run-down looking establishment with a certain amount of 'touristy' tack on display which did NOT lure me inside!

It rather looks now as though it might have changed hands and have had something of a make-over. I'll have to check it out next time I am up in Edinburgh.

Hi all,
I stumbled across this site accidentally and noticed this thread.
I'm actually a kilt maker and make the kilts for this store. In it's current guise it has only been there around a year and has nothing to do with whatever shop was there beforehand. The Scottish Store actually originated in Livingston, just outside Edinburgh and moved to those premises early last year.
As I'm the shop's only kiltmaker, I'd love to hear what you think of them if you happen to visit.

Stewart.

I'm sure you'll find this an interesing and fun place to hang out.

I am AMAZED"! You say in another post that you know us and have been to the store once or twice, you said that we were a tourist trap! Here I find you saying that we were here for many years! Why are you posting comments up about us that are complete lies? ! ?

Nothing you say here is the truth! I think everyone should know this.
We were not at this location for years!!
We are not a runned down establishment!
And if we had tacky touristy items on display and that you did not want to come in, then why did you recently post a comment up about knowing our store and that you were in our store once or twice....AND THAT WE MADE YOUR KILT?!
What is the truth? Have you been in our store? Did you think we are tacky and would not come in?

I think that the host of this website; if it is not you...should take a good look at your posts and find out what your trying to do here, and why you feel that you have the right to make up things as you go along.

If you do not know what you are talking about, why are you here making things up? Why not just pass by and find another subject that will not get a shop owner up in arms? What is wrong with you? You don't have any of the facts.
And....for the record, one of our kiltmakers had posted a reply and we now have many kiltmakers since our new location and bigger shop....not just the one that posted a reply to you since we moved from our little shop location.

Before we moved from our original location, there was not a kilt shop on this street. I do not kno wwho or what you are confusing us with, but you need to get a grip of things and stop spending your time making comments that are so incorrect about someone's place of business. You claim to have had a business of your own once? Then you should clearly know that you are very much out of line here and you should not continue this further.

Wo, wo, wo, cease fire, cease fire

1 Check the date on the original post. Your storming in here and blasting away on a thread that is almost 2 years old.

2. Ham's thoughts and opinion's are valued here because they have been vetted by many of the other members for accuracy.

3. Your response on the other thread was civil. Please try and keep them all that way. The members here understand that things happen when dealing with hand made items or shipping from over seas.

You will do well to build up a better reputation before you show your hind end in these here parts. You may want to start over and show that you are a reasonable person and businessman and you may find a lot of potential customers here. As of now I'm not inclined to even visit your web site with your attitude.
