Mr Scott's traditional sporran workshop is under threat as he battles against chepa foreign imports.
Edinburgh institution Scott and Sons employ highly skilled seamstresses to manufacture sporrans. With competition from the ubiquitous Chinese factories, proud owner Malcolm Scott won’t take it lying down. McAllister doesn’t shy away from Scott’s fiery temper and stubborn approach to business deals as his battle continues to keep his loyal staff on the payroll.
