Loz & I are just on our way down to Lidl, will have a wee keek at these goods, obviously must be lesser quality at those prices , ( my sporran , for example, cost more than all of the above put together !!  I very much doubt whether it will reach Turkey within the time period given above though, maybe by the PROPER date, Sunday 25th, but that's a wee bit tight, (like my kilt now!! ).

It's not the best quality.  However, I know a lot of young guys buy it for their stag nights, in my neck of the woods.  They save the proper Scottish made expensive clothing for the Wedding.   
Lidl's stuff would be ideal for a Burn's Supper abroad, as it would be light to send and wear and if you don't want to invest in the real thing these things looks pretty good.

The pictures of the various items in their Magazine look quite good. Choice of Tartans. On sale the 15th.

Yes, they have them every year.  I have seen them, but don't expect too much.  As said great for the 25th January if you are not a regular at these events and great if you live abroad.  Wish I could get Phil into a Kilt, but he always goes for a D.J. on Burns night.

Holm Mills kilt if I remember. I "real" one would have been far too heavy to take over.




Early on in the day obviously

I went for the D.J. during a wedding reception once, the bugger had only brought Vera Lynn and Max Bygraves records with him !!
