    Grouse Claw Kilt Pin

    I've been slack getting photos of this one posted. Father's Day I found a wrapped box beside my place setting for breakfast. Inside was a box from the Wallace Collection with a pewter grouse claw kilt pin. Apparently while I was being measured for the new kilt by the Wizard of BC some other action was going on behind my back.

    Anyway, this one is not only gorgeous, but heavy - weighs in at 1.2 oz - so I don't expect the outer apron to fly in the wind. The stones are red, possibly garnet. Wore it for the first time Saturday.

    Here it is:

    If the colour in the photo is correct the lower stone looks to be an amethyst.
