    Well, you do have to factor in that they are importing their traditional stuff from Scotland, so there is built-in import duties and the weak dollar to contend with. Plus, they run a brick and mortar shop in a high rent district in one of the most expensive cities in the country. That said, they are definitely not a discount operation. Personally I only buy small items at the store, like kilt pins, whisky, and other necessities. Nice folks though, and they do wear kilts at the shop.

    Best regards,
