I have a Rattray's Craggy Root 60, that I received for Christmas. The pipe is extremely light for it's size, clenches easily, and has an easy draw. The thick bowl does not get hot, and the inside of the chamber was raw, with no flaws evident before I started building cake.
I have been smoking Solani Mixture 131 Scotch Whiskey in it, and have had no gurgling or hotspots. Lasts about 60 minutes or so, with only a couple of relights. Each session with the pipe has been pleasant.
Based on this one, which is my first Rattray's, I believe it is a very good pipe for the price. So far, mine has been the closest thing to the perfect pipe right out of the gate that I have smoked in a long time.
BTW, I have been collecting and smoking pipes since 1975, and I own 84 pipes at the moment. Hope this helps.

I have a Highland I bought last year. Very nice pipe. Mine is det up for a filter, which I never use. Very light and good draw.
I haven't done any research on these pipes but do have a question as well. Who makes them??? Rattray's pipes have some very nice designs and look to be very well made. Thanks in advance for any information.
