  • Scottish Kilts - Or Are They?
    On a recent trip to our wonderful capital, Edinburgh, I was appalled and dismayed to see what rubbish was getting peddled as “Scottish” on the main streets and in some of the main shops. As a Scotsman very proud of my heritage, it saddened me to the pit of my stomach to see what was allowed to be sold to unsuspecting people, especially those people wonderful enough to have taken the time out to visit us from other countries, as Scottish workmanship and products.

  • Scottish Weddings – What Does The Groom Wear?
