The scottish shop in Alexandria is definitely a mixed bag. It's oddly enough a combination of scotish clothing / accessories and a tobacco shop.

The problem is that it doesn't seem to be a very good tobacco shop. It's doesn't smell of fine cigars and pipe tobaccos - it reeks of stale cigarettes. I'd be a bit worried about buying a kilt or jacket there and getting the smell out. Now don't get me wrong folks - I smoke - but good grief that shop absolutly REEKS. The building is most likely well over 200 years old and hasn't been aired out since it was built.

They do indeed have a good selection however and The Kilted Nation is well worth a visit if for no other reason than to support a new contemporary kilt store in a very unlikely location.

Whoa! When a smoker is offended by smoke stink - that's a bad stink!!

Last time I was in there, probably about 1969, if its the same store, I was still smoking heavy so don't recall that part.

Thanks for the heads up.
