Many new age shops do a wide range of items that can make superb kilt pins.

I'm rather partial to copper coloured ones, and I have several with a dragon motif, presently I'm wearing a copper lion. Whilst my absolute favourtite is a Norse silver key, with the gripping beast design, copied from one circa 1000CE.

The kilt pin is a way of expressing individuality, and can often with a bit of thought set off the kilt better than the rather boring swords etc.

By the way in over sixty years of kilt wearing-uner all sorts of conditions, I've never had one damage a kilt.
