Scootray Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 You'll be lucky to find a place that will do it with 2 days notice.I went in last month as I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 As long as it's not a busy weekend you might be ok, though you won't get a lot of choice with 2 days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Aye, I'm certainly well aware of the time issue. If I can't get one then suit it is, but I at least want to make the effort to try... hopefully it won't be too busy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neutral Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Try womens clothing shops they sometimes have the cheapest versionsThey may be called skirts and rightly so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 From what I gather Slaters may be able to sort you out at short notice, but it's best you give them a call first to check.I think it's about 78 to hire if you're not a student (although I'm sure I was around 45 to hire the full shibang last year, albeit with 20% student discount).

Hog Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Georgian in Rosemount are the best IMHO. McCalls are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I used to work for McCalls and the experience put me off ever wanting to see a man in a kilt again. You would not believe the stench that comes off of a kilt when you're steam ironing it. To be honest though, at last minute they're you're best best, they're pretty much the biggest kilt hire place in Aberdeen and are more likely to have something in your size...although the tarten may be gash.

Scootray Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I use Philip King on george street. Quick, easy and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I sue Philip King on George Street as well. Quick, easy and cheap. Plus, my dad forgot his waist coat while voer from Dubai with a Wedding the next day, and he was able to rent one with just the day's notice.
