I wonder what exactly happened to Nicol Bros.
If Margaret Morrison acquired the right to the name "Nicol Bros" I haven't noticed them using it.
That's common in the Highland pipe world, where a current maker will acquire rights to the name of a long-dead maker, and start stamping that name or their entirely different modern pipes.
On the other hand Nicol Bros sporrans had a distinctive look to them, and I haven't noticed MM using the old Nicol Bros designs either.
I'll have to give a closer look at the MM site.
