The other two look like Sutherlands (stag) and Cameron (saltire). Very good find indeed.

Actually, the center pin is St. Andrew & his cross, which is featured on the Cameron's badge -- but this is a "generic" badge. I have a larger cap badge version that I wear on my glengarry for St. Andrew's Society colour party functions. You'll find them at most Scottish suppliers.
The Sutherlands have a wildcat on their badge; you may have been thinking of the Gordons and/or the Mackenzies, which both have stag's heads as crests.
Bottom line: these are generic kilt pins, and not associated with the regiments.

Who needs an excuse? I'm retired! I can spend what little money that I can hide from the wife in any manner that I want. As long as she doesn't start counting my kilts, I'm OK - - - -

She'll notice differen colour patterns or if you're lucky - leather. She'll catch on you know! Just because they were dumb enough to marry us, doesn't mean they're dumb.

I was thinking they resembled the regiments' crests but I did mean to say Seaforths not Sutherlands.
