Just saying.
Spot on, here, Jock..!
I have always felt that every synthetic material kilt is a loss to Scotland's traditional weavers, but if price rather than quality and authenticity is the deciding factor, Dalgleish's demise is part of the price paid.
We hear a great deal about 'cultural appropriation' when it comes to fashion and clothing, so it's a pity people take a different view when it comes to Highland dress and the long-etablished makers of it.
It sometimes feels like we're in the tail-end of a good night out - we've had a great time with pals, but the last-orders bell has been rung, the lights are being dimmed and 'Time please, gentleman..!' has already been shouted.
The only thing left is a lonely trudge home, through dark and dank streets.
