Kilt pins

[Dirka Skene]

Would it be proper for a woman to sport a kilt pin? I like the way they look, maybe I could use a gem studded broach or something.

I have seen it, a girl at work has more kilt pins than I do, she wears them with long hostess type kilted skirts.

Why not, A kilt pin is an appropriat accesory for a kilt. And gems are nice especialy if the match the tartan.

My daughter Xena and the F-H.C.A.G. wear kilt pins with theirs. As a matter of fact the F-H.C.A.G. stole hers from me! It will look fine.

I have a gorgeous Celtic knot hair clip and I'm currently trying to figger out a way of converting it into a pin. Any ideas? It's one of those with the spring loaded bar on the back that clips into a catch and squeeze to release metal piece.

Can't really tell what it is. I love the tartan! Have any idea which tartan that is?

Let em see your hair clip and maybe I can figure something out for you. I made your Uncles.

The tartan in the photo I posted is called, Spirit of Scotland.

To view a bigger swatch, go to the Scottish Tartan Authority (the official overseer of registered tartans)
http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/site/home/home.asp
Click on the tartan ferret; in the tartan name input box type 'spirit of scotland' & hit enter; click on 'spirit of tartan' hot-button; a separate window will open with the tartan which you can maximize for best viewing.

FYI, this is the actual webpage I copied the photo from.

As for the kilt pin in the photo, I realize you can't see it real clear because of the angle the model is standing at, but the kilt pin looks like a giant safety pin. I just wanted to illustrate that it's quite common for women to wear a kilt pin on their kilt skirts.

After all was not the kilt pin invented by a woman? Queen Victoria? Dirka you could search ebay for brooches. This is what I'm doing to find a maple leaf for my forthcoming Maple Leaf tartan, I'm alsp looking for a trillium brooch for when I get my Ontario Provincial tartan.
