Tucked away and set back from the sea front, Scotia Kilt Hire was not a shop I was expecting to…read morefind in South Queensferry. Indeed, I wasn't particularly drawn to look at it, apart from the large figure of a highland dressed soldier situated at the side of the shop! From the outside, the shop looks quite small and insignificant, however Scotia Kilts provides a very good service indeed. Not only does it provide kilts/highland dress for hire and sale, this shop also buys in your old kilts, jackets and highland clothing! Indeed, you can hand in your old clothing and get a discount on the price of buying some new highland wear! The kilts and all the majority of the clothing are made in Scotland, so if you prefer to buy goods made in the locality/Scotland, then this shop is for you! It's good to know that you are buying the famous Scottish dress which supports local Scottish industries!

When some music awards came to Edinburgh a couple of years back (sorry about being vague, I think…read moreit was MTV) obviously Vin Diesel and the likes had to show their appreciation of being in our wonderful country by wearing kilts. I'm using Vin as the example here as I remember him having an iconic leather one. All of the Kilts in question were made by Howie of 21st Century Kilts who strongly believes that they shouldn't just be a formal item and every Scot should have one as part of a versatile wardrobe. Enough novelty and let's make men 100 times more attractive.

Ooooh La La! 21st…read moreCentury Kilts is a wonderful boutique that's furnished with lovely wooden cabinets, old photos and retro furniture. As the name implies however, the clothes are very 21st century with lead designer Howie creating gorgeous men and womens kilts. There's traditional kilts in wool, tweed and tartan but the thing that customers can't get enough of is their more playful denim, pinstripe, linen, pvc and leather kilts. To add icing on the cake, 21st Century Kilts stock and sew kilts in a variety of styles and lengths from traditional and hipster to full length kilts that go from the hip to the ankle. They also offer a variety of different buttons, horns, buckles and finishes - making it a rather unique and fun boutique.

Living in the US would have normally made purchasing a kilt in Scotland difficult, but William made…read morethe whole process a breeze. Since my now-wife is from Scotland, I wished to buy a kilt for our wedding. I had several phone conversations with William who talked me through the whole process and answered the many questions I had as a first-time kilt buyer. He was extremely kind, patient, professional and knowledgeable. Although we never got to meet (my wife collected the kilt in Glasgow), it was an absolute pleasure to work with both William and McCalls of Glasgow and I would highly recommend them.

Disappointment. I was excited for this store…read more This store has interesting clothing to offer - some vintage some new. The prices were pretty steep. Many clothes were damaged, and the tag did not mention the damaged item. I understand that items are vintage, but it should be disclosed of the condition of the clothing. The v store was very hot and packed with people. I was unable to look at everything because shoppers kept bumping into me or cutting me off unfortunately. The clothes were not very organized either. It was hard to look through them. If they did crowd control and limit the shoppers inside, I may have had a better experience. This has been the most disappointing shop during my Scotland holiday so far.

I am an American who recently visited Scotland and wanted to purchase a kilt. I did a lot of…read moresearching in both Edinburgh and Stirling. Many of the shops I visited were staffed by people who knew surprisingly little about how kilts should fit, fabric quality, etc. In some shops, it was assumed that I was not a serious buyer. After an especially negative experience with an unhelpful saleswoman in Stirling, I finally found the kilt I wanted to buy just down the road at Clan Kilts Ltd. As it happened, it was an ex-hire heavyweight kilt being offered at an excellent price, so I felt I had really scored.... but it got even better! I had already committed to buying the kilt, but the gentleman in the shop volunteered to replace the somewhat worn leather straps at no additional charge. He measured to make sure the new straps would be ideally placed. He even offered to have the kilt pressed. Because I already felt that I was getting such a great deal, I had not requested any of these services; they were all offered unexpectedly. I had the kilt shipped home to the USA. The charges were extremely reasonable. The kilt was delivered very quickly, with new straps, etc, just as promised. I have never had better retail service anywhere in the world. If Clan Kilts provides such excellent service to a tourist whom they're unlikely to see again, and who is buying a discounted item, I can only assume that they must bend over backward for their local repeat clientele.

On 16 Aug 2023, I ordered a Clan Crest Kilt Accessory Gift Set. When this item arrived, I noticed…read morethat the clan crest on the belt buckle, which was part of the set, was not properly attached and was, in fact, not straight or symmetrical. I contacted the vendor multiple times to point out this flaw and ask them to correct it. Each time, they responded by telling me that the crest was supposed to be asymmetrical and refusing to do anything about it. I eventually disassembled the buckle, refabricated one of the pieces and corrected the problem. My advice would be to avoid this company. There are any number of vendors who supply this type of merchandise.

Probably the worst online purchase I have ever made…read more The ends look like they've been cut with garden shears The pattern seam is way out the ends are frayed The weight of the material is so light you can fold it into a large postage stamp size This was meant to be a present, frankly I would be too embarassed to give it.

You have been warned. £20+ in the bin - disgraceful
