Christian cross as kilt pin

True enough. But one is free to attach a meaning to it, and a symbol that speaks of Christianity is (for a Christian) a highly appropriate choice.
Aside from those already suggested, one could also use a pin showing a dove, representing the Holy Spirit.
Then there is the shamrock, which not only symbolises Ireland, but was used (as legend has it) by St Patrick to explain the mystery of the Trinity to the High King at Tara. (Not solely a suggestion for those of Irish ancestry.)
There are many possibilities.

I think that I might have been unclear. I only meant that he's no offending any "traditional" highland "rule" of dressing by using a cross as a kilt pin. Of course some may use something that's meaningful for them, and I believe that's what I suggested.

If you wish to wear a cross as a kilt pin, wear it! Being retired Navy, I have worn two of my qualification pins (one at a time) and am thinking about using one of my hat devices as a kilt pin. I also have a Fire/Rescue Maltese Cross that is a bit heavy but will also be used as a kilt pin.

That fire/rescue pin would look great!

The cross, in form, is simple, elegant, and can be made to almost any weight and size. It's meaning for those who wear it, as well as for those who see it,
can be profound. Wear it 'til the King comes over the water!

Go for it. Crosses are my favorite.

Round kilt pins don't have pointed edges and might be less prone to catching:

Chi Rho, brass on clay, 2.5 inches diameter



Bottany Cross, brass on clay, 2.5 inches diameter

I like the look of the round kilt pins. Who sells them? Can you provide a link?

Your link is in the post from Tyger. He is the one that makes them.

Saint Andrew was a strong follower of Christ himself:

I agree that a simple Latin cross would be a fine kilt pin in and of itself, but share an earlier respondent's opinion that the horizontal arms may be prone to catch on "things."

Your kilt...your religion...

Wear it well and with pride.

[Mike_Oettle]

Actually, I have ordered a St Andrew bonnet badge myself, AKScott.
Not sure whether I will wear it on my kilt, but I might on occasion.
And, The Barry, I had no intention of offending you. Please accept my apologies if it seemed that way.

Here is one that I wear. Check our advertisers for more ideas. I believe this one was made by Art Pewter, and is called Tobermory. You should be able to find it, it's no longer listed where I think I bought it.

I also like fleurs de lys.
