[McMurdo]

A very difficult question however with some thought I've narrowed it down to two the first was a gift from Hamish and is on my Isle of Skye, here is the post I made about it when I got it.

My second favourite at the moment would have to be my Gecko pin that I found on ebay. Here is the review of it.

I like this pin as it has just about every colour of the tartan in it.

I do not wear a kilt pin. Unfortunately, while I have seen some nice pins, I have never found one to my liking, and choose not to wear just anything. When the right one comes along, I will wear it.

Kilt pins did not come into use until the Highland regiments starting wearing them. According to the story, the queen was inspecting a highland unit on a blustery day. One poor solider had his kilt blowing up and not being able to move, he was having an embarrassing time to say the least. The queen recognizing the soldier's dilemma used a pin she had to secure the aprons together. They became part of the uniform shortly after.

Here's the two I wear and the only two "styles" I own:

SWK's military "safety pin" kilt pin (I've got several of these) with my band's button:



and an artsy pin from Amerikilts:

I'm with you on this one. It took me a lot of searching to find just the right one. That stag head from Glen Esk, when I saw it, just took me breath away. It was perfect.
