As much as we all hate that the economy is tanking our retirement accounts, there is one up side-----Scotweb's prices are fixed to the pound, and the pound is falling relative to the dollar (more each day with the falling stock market) so everything is geting less expensive on their website. A custom kilt I was ready to order last month for more than $450 is now pricing in at around $360, with the prices fluctuating on a nearly daily basis.

I have just checked several other Scotland based online vendors and so far Scotweb is the only one to have changed their prices in the last few weeks-----some in several months.

It may be time to put in that special custom order. I think it is for me, even though my wife will probably have a cow.
