Kilt Pin Placement

[Casey_in_Carolina]

While I like the patch, I really want to use the kilt pin I have. It's one with St. Andrew and his Cross. I think that it really makes a tie-in with the Clark name, and the origins of the family with it's association with the church.

I think I'm going to try and very carefully remove the patch, and save it, maybe place it on a polo or something, because I do like the patch, and that way I can wear the pin on the kilt, and the patch on a shirt.

Think I'll wait til tomorrow to try and remove the patch though, steadier hands and all that

That's exactly the pin I got for my clergy tartan! In fact, I got it from Rocky at a Celtic event. In my case, there is the further association of the Cross of St. Andrew being part of the coat-of-arms of the Archdiocese of New York (formed by a windmill).

I have had one question in the matter of placement myself. (Hope this isn't hijacking the thread.) I saw an old British TV show from the 1960's which was about a Scottish regiment. The actors all had their pins waaay up and over, maybe right over the middle of the thigh.

Is that a military way of doing that? I would think that a British show would have had lots of comments were they to have gotten it wrong.
