Saltire Kilt Pin -Thank you O'Neille!
It felt like Christmas today.
The lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess had just finished converting the dark brown vest I bought at Target the other day to a kilt cut waistcoat when the postman delivered a package!
It was a kilt pin from O'Neille!
I don't plan on wearing two pins at once (fear not Hamish!) but I wanted to show it off immediately.
My thanks Kresent for your generous gift it makes me smile every time I look at it.
I must wear it at our Nor Cal Burns Night Supper!
Cheers
Jamie

Great stuff Jame! Looking good as always. Don't know which one I like better, the wee ship or the salute!

Oh, I do not object to two pins being worn, Jamie - not that I would do such a thing myself, you understand - but I do wear both a kilt pin and a silver dance medal I won in earlier years on my oldest kilt: my Gunn, ancient colours (1973)!
The Saltire kilt pin is beautiful. Having played host to THE Saltire this past week or so, I can see how faithfully O'Neille has reproduced it.
Take care,
Ham.

Really looks great and you more than deserve it for all your work in promoting the XMTS Saltire in the first place.

Hmmmmmmn! Down boy! I think the availability of the 'Saltire' kilt pin should be restricted to those who have actually hosted THE 'Saltire' - merely signing the log book is not enough! 
Take care,
