I haven't purchased anything from The Scottish Lion so I can't speak to that.

But Riverkilt mentioned something that I have been curious about: he says,

"As tanatlizing as some of the offerings may seem on a webpage or in a catalog I've learned the hard way to only purchase from a middleman vendor when I can lay my hands on the goods at a highland games, pay, and take the product with me in my own hands".

What ,if any, difference is there in the quality and or price of the product sold at Highland Games compared to what is available from these web sites?
I have not bought anything from these sites but do buy from the vendors at the Games. Do you find any difference in quality or price?
