Now if we go back in time, Officers and Pipers of The Gordon Highlanders wore simple blanket pins.
However the Gordon Highlanders ceased to exist in 1994.
Only six kilted Highland regiments existed in the British Army from 1809 to 1948 and the Gordons were the only one to wear kilt pins.
Here's the Gordons' Pipe Major, 2nd from left, the wee gent, in the early 1960s.
The giant of a man at far left, Pipe Major Anderson of The Black Watch, piped at John F Kennedy's funeral.
