On their website they do say that they are internet only and that they are dealers for the "Clann Crais Collection." A little "interweb" digging turned up this site http://www.mactag.co.uk/cgi-bin/ccp5/ccp5/cp-app.cgi which is the maker fo the collection refered to. Their addy is for Glasgow, not that that means their fabric is made in Scotland, though.
(Also I believe the OP is in the UK so 199bp to him is 199bp.)

Hi Demobud and greetings from Birmingham in the UK. I'm pretty sure the cloth they use is from the Marton Mills which is located in West Yorkshire, England. A lot of Scottish kiltmakers boast that they only use Scottish mills, which is understandable, but if you can turn a blind eye to this then Marton Mills Jura 16oz is brilliant (there is some concern about the uneven selvedge, but who really notices that ?). It actually seems 'heavier' than Lochcarron Strome and it is woven to give it a nice 'luster' which looks really good, especially in the sunshine .
