Selecting a Kilt Pin
I like hand-made things and am considering a new kilt pin. I don't especially care for swords or axes or Celtic kitch. Prince Charles uses a simple kilt safety pin (probably silver). MacPherson of Cluny has a silver clan badge with the three feathers. I can't quite make out MacKintosh of MacKintosh's pin, but it looked like a cat . I bought my wife an antique silver penanular pin from Iona, they're fairly easy to come by and very nice. She thinks it looks more like a brooch than a kilt pin. I have a nice brass Clan Chattan or MacKintosh badge pin in a style no longer made. And that's all I know. oh, I have a collection of cut stones from my days in Brazil - some of those could be made into pins.
I realize there probably aren't rules in a crowd that uses salmon flies for pins and rubber chickens for sporrans, but any recommendations or ideas would be nice.
