    Any of the Highland dress shops down the High Street (Royal Mile) they all have the usual selection of samples.

    That was the point in my asking.

    Geoffrey Tailor don't seem to stock a big selection, just seems to be the ones they make themselves, which will be the popular ones for their kilt hires. All the shops have sample books from the main weavers, Lochcarron & House of Edgar. Romanes & Paterson on Princes Street will have all these too or if you can get down to Leith (take a No 22 bus on Princes St - it stops at the door) go to Kinloch Anderson, they have loads of samples.

    Kilt shops - if you are prepared to travel a little

    Scotia and Caledonia Kilts, South Queensferry (a 20 minute bus ride from St. Andrew's Square) is my favourite shop. South Queensferry is a little distance outside Edinburgh but well worth the visit (especially if you want to view the Forth Bridges). I had my current kilt made there and their service is first class. They also have a second-hand shop where I bought a tweed kilt jacket a couple of years ago in excellent condition.
