I thought I read something about this in a past posting but can't find the discussion. Most kilt pins I see are the typical sword with variations. With the recent posts I see many other possibilities. Just how far away from the sword kilt pins and/or pins that are labeled and sold as kilt pins can one drift? I get the impression that it is really up to the individual.

For example - I prefer wearing a more traditional tartan kilt to honor the Scottish side of my family and thought it would be nice to use a frog pin to represent the French side. A potential source of pins would be jewlery cases at antique shops. Would this look foolish or be inappropriote? Suggestions?

Cheers! Bill
