I looked up their card and saw that I had misremembered. They are actually in Warrenton. The name of the shop is The Scoti and they do have a website at http://www.thescoti.com/ but it is not an ecommerce site.
Here's the address:

Its been 40 years, but I remember old town Alexandria being a hotbed of Scottish shops.
And Williamsburg too...but that's not close.
I'm so jealous...can taste the fresh seafood....smell the wool of the kilts...I do hope old town Alexandria is still as wonderful as it used to be....

There are still lots of good seafood and the rest, but sadly there's only one Scottish shop & one Irish shop left that I know of. But Murphy's Irish Pub is still around and still has live singing/sing-a-long of great bawdy pub tunes late at night!

Yup, I got a nice Lovat Blue Argyll off the rack at The Scottish Merchant, plus a few accessories. I also get my pipe tobacco there as well.

A kilted road trip, let me know . I did not know about that shop. Maybe my lovely wife secretly wants me to have more -_insert whatever I want - stuff.

Gentlemen,
I'm out of the country for Christmas so I missed the replies to this thread so let me respond:
1. Glassman - Ugh, driving in Old Alexandria is not my most favorite thing to do but if you'd know where the shop is I'm game to go - or go to Warrenton.
2. I'm also up for a kilt meet-up. There are several of us around here now and we SHOULD get together. We'll be back in NoVA on the evening of the 27th so we can go from there.
Got to sign off now as I have to shower and "kilt-up" for Christmas Eve dinner with my inlaws. (About 22 of them) Should be a nice evening. We're in Canada and I'm not the only kilt wearer in the family. Although these folks seem to reserve them for weddings, funerals and formal military dress. Maybe I can change their minds.
PS. Anyone know of any Scottish shops in Windsor Ontario? Big Paul? You're close, anyone else?
Merry Christmas,
Dee

I know exactly where the shop is in Alexandria so maybe we can all meet up out here in Fairfax and drive down in one car. And I'd love to manage a get together one weekend and top it off with a group road-trip to Warrenton too!
Let's talk after X-Mas.

I was just looking over some old threads and came across this. I'm going to have to make a trip down there myself. It's just a little over an hour south of me on US 15. Something to do one weekend afternoon.

Foggy braincells here, but didn't there also used to be a Scottish shop over in Williamsburgh, VA? I'm talking 30 years ago...??

Yes, in Merchant's Square, just outside the Colonial area on Duke of Gloucester St.
I'm usually down there around Christmastime every year.
