Another protectionist kilt article from "The Scotsman"

One of the problems of "Honesty In Labeling" is that it is still very vague.

A 'tat' merchant could just as easily set up a mill, produce sub-standard fabrics, and have a sweatshop team factory-producing low budget kilts all in Scotland. By the label's definition, it's a Scottish Kilt, with materials made in Scotland, even "Hand Tailored".

Short of something extreme like the "Harris Tweed" label program, I think that the tat-shops will continue relatively unmolested no matter what is tried by the government.

If they did that they would still have to considerably increase their prices as there is a minimum wage In Scotland and the rest of the UK.
