With over 20 styles, including many exclusive designs, and with literally thousands in stock, we have the best selection of Scottish, Irish and Welsh kilt pins in the USA! That includes most Scottish Clan Crests, many Irish family names, special selections for firefighters, law enforcement and Masons as well as elegant Celtic knot designs and traditional symbols.
How and why do you Wear a Kilt Pin?
The Kilt Pin is worn in the lower right corner of the kilt’s front apron. Typically, the pin is positioned so that its top is about 6” up from the bottom hem of the kilt and about 2” in from the right edge of the front apron (where the fringe is). It is only affixed to the front apron - just the top layer.
The practical purpose of the pin is to prevent the apron from blowing up in a stiff wind. You can thank Queen Victoria for that idea. When reviewing troops at Balmoral castle one windy day, the Queen was not amused by the troopers’ unruly kilt aprons. Thus the modern kilt pin was created by royal decree. (File under “stuff you can chat about at the scotch tasting.”)
