Your Favorite Kilt Pin

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

That's not my photo, but the pin is the same. I like the old style pins because they were simple, traditional, and my first one was given to me by my mom. It was part of her school uniform (yes, for her skirt) so it means something to me.

I have about 4 that I keep on different kilts.

Mine's the same, a sterling silver blanket pin with a 1914 Inverness hallmark. BTW-- Either your pin, or the photo, is upside down. Worn the way shown, if the pin snapped open, it would slip out and fall to the ground.

I also have a grouse foot kilt pin, again with an Inverness hallmark but dated 1912, that I sometimes wear to formal dinners and the like.

I think it looks better right side up so that's how I wear mine. Not much chance of it snapping open unless one is engaged in hand to hand combat.

Like I said, it's not my photo. But I do wear mine correctly, so it doesn't fall off -- though those pins are so strong, I don't think they ever come undone unless you want them to!
