I'm not sure if it's "unfortunate" but this is bang on. There is a huge market for cheap souvenirs like insta-kilts, "see you Jimmy" hats and £20 kilts. If a law was enacted that prevented the import of such goods, I'm sure that entrepreneurs (local or otherwise) would rush to fill the void.
I wonder too if the goods from this store would be allowed under such a proposed law. Made in Scotland AND only £20? They must be good!
