I know this store and have visited it once or twice. Although nothing like as bad as the notorious Gold Brothers tourist-trap shops on and around The Royal Mile, this one does try to catch the tourist - by selling just about anything that can be called 'Scottish'. Their inventory is just far too big for a retail shop. The Scottish Store does sell kilts and Highland Dress accessories, but this is not their major raison d'etre.
Having just looked for their website, which I had bookmarked, I find that they have changed their web address and they are calling themselves "Colin of Edinburgh, Bespoke Kiltmakers" - but they still list everything under the sun!! I do not know what web address you had for them but they are now at http://scottishstore.com and their 'phone number is listed as: +44 131 225 6111
In June last year, I bought my Saltire Tartan kilt from them without any problems - other than the fact that I had to wait over 12 weeks for it. Still, they were cheaper than anywhere else!! I would not buy from them again, however.
