Value Quality Price I had to go with the National Flower of Scotland for my kilt pin, being Scottish. It is heavy enough to hold the kilt down in the wind, looks great and is very nicely made. Great job!!! (Posted on 11/19/2020) - Perfect!!! RANGER

Price Value Quality The kilt pin is far better than I had hoped and a vast improvment of the one I am replacing, which was from a trip to Scotland a few years ago. Has a nice feel and weight to it, too. It looks terrific! Thank you! (Posted on 8/11/2020) - Good detail Philip

Quality Price Value Lots of kilt pins offered by others do not provide the detail as the one I received from USA Kilts. The must be mass stamped with cheap equipment. I am, as always, very pleased with the price, quality, and speed of delivery. (Posted on 12/9/2019) - Great product Kiltedman

Buyers Guide
The Kilt pin is worn on the lower right corner of the kilt’s apron (above the wearer’s right knee). Typically, the pin is positioned about 5” up from the bottom of the kilt (the bottom of the pin is 5” up) and about 2” in from the right edge of the front apron. Please note that it does NOT pin multiple layers of cloth together… it only goes through the front apron.

Fun Facts
If you don’t want to lose your kilt pin, try this… carefully poke the pin through the front apron of your kilt. With the pin sticking out the underside, stab the pin through a rubber band (usually a wide rubber band is easier). You can trim the rubber band so that you only use a little square. Then, poke the pin through the front apron again and close the clasp. If the clasp comes undone, the kilt pin will be held by the rubber band and won’t fall off.
Why is the thistle the "Flower of Scotland"?
According to a legend, an invading Norse army was attempting to sneak up at night upon a Scottish army's encampment. During this operation one barefoot Norseman had the misfortune to step upon a thistle, causing him to cry out in pain, thus alerting Scots to the presence of the Norse invaders. Some sources suggest the specific occasion was the Battle of Largs, which marked the beginning of the departure of King Haakon IV (Haakon the Elder) of Norway who, having control of the Northern Isles and Hebrides, had harried the coast of the Kingdom of Scotland for some years. -
