Still, for 21 quid, someone got a good deal. Enough tartan fabric could be salvaged for something else, not to mention it has the original style military buckles. And heck, it could still be useful as a kilt with some re-pressing and removal of that horrid stitch line. If it were to be worn where the top is hidden by a jacket/coatee, no one would ever know about the added tartan strip at the top.
