The Gold bros/Singh are not SCOTS they are British Asians to be precise, which isnt and should not be a factor in this discussion,

the factors being

the quality of the materials used.
the quality of craftsmanship.
if any child labour/ exploited workers were invloved in the manufacture.

by using "ambiguous" and "confusing" labelling ,passing it off as something it isnt. the labelling could "catch out" tourists to whom English isnt a first language.

There is a market for "economy" kilts, Im assured Stillwater and sport kilts are excelent kilts for the money, are transparent about the place of manufacture and dont pretend to be something they are not. Unlike our friends on the royal mile.

at the end of the day the golds are simply using tartan tat as a way of making cash, if the bottom fell out of it they would go onto something else.

there is no commitment to further or preserve the art of Kiltmaking and looking at the rubbish they sell, no respect or understanding of symbols of Highland culture.

Id be interested to know if there are similar "chancers" in the US or Australia cashing in on native american or aboriginal cultures producing similar "tat"
