Episode Details

A passionate kilt maker is rallying for UNESCO recognition of hand-sewn kilts as a protected art form, warning that mass-produced alternatives are eroding authenticity and threatening the survival of this vital Scottish craft. He champions his company as one of the last truly artisanal makers, emphasizing the painstaking hand-stitching behind each kilt. He also calls for a special VAT rate on Scottish-made goods to boost local economies and protect jobs. With military kilts now being made overseas, he argues this is cultural erosion—and he’s making his case on the global stage, including during New York’s Tartan Week. His mission? To preserve Scotland’s heritage, honor skilled craftsmanship, and ensure this iconic tradition endures for generations to come.
