Oh is it? It just made me smile. As jingl says, cashing in.

Oh yes. The Games. I used to have a "Scotch skirt" like that.

It's for the Games, apparently.

When is Burns night. They'll cash in on anything these days. hmm

The whole kit certainly sounds cheap and...cheerful! grin

Well we were just wandering around this morning and there they were - bagpipes! There are kilts (for men I think) for £20, and sporrans. The bagpipes (the box states 'playable') are £12.99 so I am assuming they are for children. I wish I'd taken a closer look now! Aimed at Burns night I presume although I can't see many folks around these parts buying them.

made with a real badger mask???

I know you can pay hundreds for a properly made kilt.

I saw an advert in the press for these. I thought it a strange thing for them to stock. I suspect Charleygirl is right and they are cheap copies.

Just hope no DGC get ideas Anya grin!

Bagpipes? Real working bagpipes?

I think that I am marginally over the age of wearing a kilt. That was our Sunday uniform at school.

Without beingtoo rude, I doubt if they were made properly.

are on sale in our local Lidl (in Birmingham) today. Just thought I would share that with you grin
