It makes my blood boil, to walk down the Royal Mile and see shop after shop selling Pakistani kilts, sporrans, belts, bagpipes, etc to unsuspecting tourists, while at the same time Scottish kiltmakers, sporranmakers, and pipemakers are struggling to keep in business. I believe that Scotland should pass a law declaring certain things "national cultural items" and these should be illegal to import into the country for resale. (This would not prevent a Scot from purchasing an American-made bagpipe or Canadian-made kilt for his personal use.)

I think most of your predictions sound bang on!
