Didn't the British Gov. decide to start buying the kilts for the Regiments from overseas?

I talked to a couple businesses over there. From what I can gather, they ended up using a Scottish company. The were looking overseas to make the Scottish companies drop their price.

If it says designed in Scotland it wasn't made in Scotland. this is the way some companies are getting round getting their cloth and kilts from elsewhere other than where they are.
IMHO it is a bit deceiving. Our kilts ARE made in Scotland with Scottish milled cloth and that what we tell folk.
I don't care where anything is made but just be honest about it.
