Speaking very generally, lapel pins are the exception rather than a rule, certainly not "ubiquitous", in the UK in general and Scotland in particular and dare I say it, are considered as one of those things that is not done. Before some one comes up with a load of pictures contradicting what I have said, I do concede that lapel pins appear to be worn more these days in the UK than they were.I can think of one almost universilly accepted exception within the U.K. and the Commonwealth, the poppy at around the time of Armistice Day.
