I visited them in August 2024. I was surprised that their big impressive shop right by the Castle was gone (the last time I was in Edinburgh was 2007) and now they're up a narrow staircase in an obscure shop a bit further down the street.

The place was more like a store-room, with racks full of jackets and kilts everywhere, and a cheery young man and young woman busy with online and phone orders.

At first they assumed I was picking up an order. When I explained I was just having a look they welcomed me to take my time, which I did.

They had racks of jackets which as I said appeared identical in cut and fit to the jackets I saw at all the other legitimate Highland Wear shops. However they were lacking the tell-tale "peat" tweed, the mark of the House of Edgar jackets which most shops had.
I always wonder about places with racks full of already made kilts. With SO many tartans, multiplied by the almost infinite array of body sizes, what good are "ready made" kilts if they're to be a treasured long-term possession?

Did you see any evidence that they had tailors at work or available?
