Bagpipe ban for tat shops

[Tobus]

It occurs to me to wonder if a "stamp of approval" for stores which meet certain criteria might help? In fact, these might come from the STA, the Register, and perhaps even the City of Edinburgh itself, or at least the equivalent of an Edinburgh "Chamber of Commerce" or such.

If these became recognized and were stringent, visible, and widely advertised by tourism groups and tourism advertisers, the Tat shops might strive energetically to adjust their wares in order to earn one or more such crests for their front windows lest serious customers go elsewhere.

Is there no equivalent to the BBB in Scotland or the UK?

Of course, all the stamps of approval in the world still won't keep a clueless tourist from blowing money on junk. Such marks of quality/ethics are only as good as the effort that customers put into researching them.
