Dont worry about the buttons, some of the best jackets are totally unique. I do believe someone somewhere has salmons for their buttons.
The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';

At our local normal fabric shop they have buttons with Celtic knotwork on them, the same price as any other mass market buttons. They would look great on any Scottish jacket, I think.
Various Viking/Runic/Nordic themed pewter buttons are available from places that sell stuff for Scandinavian costumes. I have a set that has Viking/Runic knotwork on them.

Ever so wonderful! I never would have imagined such a beautiful school of fish buttons! That really gives me a lot more freedom to be more creative!

Did you see the fish buttons at the top left of this page?

I just found a pair of boys Mexican gaucho pants of some sort at the Goodwill. They have silver double buttons down the sides of each leg, for a total of 28 sets of buttons! They have horses and horseshoes connected by silver chains. Very ornate and the cost was just $6.99 for all those buttons! Not sure yet if they will go on the Prince Charlie jacket, but thanks again for freeing my creative spirit to think outside of the box.
