Ah, but the rub is, are these clearly labelled MADE IN INDIA and MADE IN PAKISTAN? I can't recall seeing any such labels, and at the very least Scotland should require such.

Ignorant tourists don't notice the absence of a MADE IN SCOTLAND label and assume that they're buying Scottish-made goods.

I know, because as a piper I get phone calls on a regular basis from people who bought sets of bagpipes on their travels to Scotland or Ireland who want to come over and begin lessons. In 9 cases out of 10 their pipes turn out to be Pakistani rubbish. They are quite amazed when I tell them that their Scottish pipes are not Scottish in the least, and are quite useless for musical purposes.
