    Four new Kilt Pins

    It has been a while since I treated myself to any new kilt pins and, being pretty much fanatical about having a pin for every kilt, I tend to have more pins than kilts! However, that has not been the case of late and when I saw these recently I thought it best to get my hands on them - in readiness for any forthcoming, and as yet unplanned, kilts!

    The first two in pewter are finely detailed in a 'stag' theme:





    These two are also in pewter but are contemporary in appearance and are based on Celtic designs:





    OK, all I need now are the kilts to show them off!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Congratulations, Hamish. That must make a hundred kilt pins...
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I really like the last one, simple yet fluid in design, where did you find it? I like you am always looking for another kilt pin.

    Very nice indeed, Hamish. I especially like #3 down--neat traditional/ modern design.

    Yes Glen, I like that one very much also. The 3rd and 4th pins came from Slanj Kilts in Glasgow ( www.slanjkilts.com ).

    Take care,

    99? did you say 99? Oh my Hamish that just won't do - I don't know how you can sleep at night with such an odd number of kilt pins! Please find ONE MORE to put in your collection so I can sleep at night!

    By the way I love the craftsmanship of the second kilt pin.

    #2 is my favorite. If you don't mind my asking, where did it come from?
