Fraser Borland?
Has anyone had any experience with an ebay seller that goes by Fraser Borland?

I had a royal stuart 8 yard Kilt that I wore for a brief time in a pipe band, the Kilt was very good quality and well made.

I won a Scottish National from them about a year ago. Short review: good kilt for the money.
It is well-made, but after a year of wear it is starting to fray. Threads are unravelling and one of the buckles has come undone. That's after nearly a year of fairly continuous use, though.
I recommend Fraser Borland. Just don't break the bank bidding on one; like the buses, there'll be another one along shortly.

In a word yes, the kilt arrived promptly, special delivery.It was opened at once as you would guess, and to my disgussed the inner apron had two flaws in it.There seemed to be two pulls that run vertically the entire length of the apron.
The item description says 'traditionally made', it was machine made!
Cloth weight is what I would call medium weight not heavy weight.
Apart from that good luck but in my experience you take your chances.
Oh, I sent it back and got a refund, I've opted for stillwaters.

Fraser Borland. Any relation to Al?:-D
All I can tell you is what I hear from customers. The quality is fair for the money, and the construction is similar to a "domestic manufacturer" that does machine-made kilts. The ONE thing that separates them from some other eBay sellers is that they are VERY responsive to returns and exchanges. IF they have your particular size and tartan choice... bid low and wait. Like Ugly Bear stated... this ain't the only kilt that they have in the kitty.
Arise. Kill. Eat.
