It depends what context your using the word "Scottish" (Iam not keen that word anyway I much prefer "Scots" I am a Scot not Scottish!!
if the word "scottish" is used to describe a Kilt as a Scottish Kilt in relation to its country of manufacture or "Scottish" because of where its made. There is already a law against describing any item manufactured abroad as "made in Scotland", however the Goldies always put "designed in scotland" to get round it.
"if their attempt is successful it would mean that only kilts that were hand sewn, made in Scotland and made from pure wool could be known as a Scottish kilt"
what if the wool was from Ireland and the strops from china but made in Scotland. ?
all that will happen is the stuff will be sent from india or pakistan and pleated and straps sewn on in Edinburgh sweat shops.
it would be better just to educate people that the tut shops sell Rubbish and thats that.
I think its all part of Howies feud with the Singh/gold bros
