    What is their kilt quality like ?

    For what it's worth, I ordered an 8 yard 13oz wool Rob Roy (film tartan) kilt at their shop in Edinburgh in 2006. They measured me in the shop and the kilt arrived in about 6 weeks after ordering it. When I got home two weeks I realized I'd forgotten to tell them I wanted it pleated to the stripe and I sent them an e-mail. They promptly replied and said they would do as I requested. The kilt was well made and fit well. I wear it quite a bit and it has stood up well.

    That said, I've also bought two from Geoffrey's (Black Watch in 1983 and an Elliot in 2008), which is almost across the street from Heritage of Scotland, and like their kilts much better.

    We have NO affiliates on ebay. We do trade on ebay and some other companies also re-sell our products, but these are completely independent companies that we cannot take responsibility of.

    Please do not make other users think we have anything to do with their poor service.

    HoS is great. I've bought shirts, ties, flashes, a towel, flags etc. off of them from a few different orders. It's always arrived in good time and they've always helped me - like when I phoned asking for info on sizes.
    I'd recommend them... although check their ebay account first as you might get your stuff a bit cheaper:

    I also had a kilt made from them and it was ready within 3 weeks, great price and good quality.

    Seems as though there has been a change of hands at the company . . . for the better, we assume?!
