This thread has been surprising me, due to the fact that the majority of the kilt pins people are wearing are things not designed or intended to be kilt pins.
Don't have very many kilt pins, but this is my favorite. My bride to be got this for me for our wedding. The tartan is Ancient MacKay (my mother was a McKee). The rampant lion goes with my name (Garrett).

That is the path to having interesting kilt pins that depart from the standard motif. There is also sometimes a value problem with designed_for_kilt pins because they carry a premium price...

This was one of my motivating factors for kicking off the thread. Most of the pins I have are not Kilt-pins as such and I favour the ones that are not. I'd noticed in other people's pictures too, that as well as the traditional blanket pin and the ubiquitous sword, there are a myriad of other brooches and badges being used as pins. That and I'm just nosey to see in detail how folks are blinging their Kilts.
I love BrewerPaul's Scottish pebble by the way. Most original.
Made this kilt pin from a Cadillac emblem necklace. Got a lot of comments the other night about a Caddy emblem as a kilt pin. Not what people were expecting to see on a kilt. Another example of a kilt pin made from something that was not intended to be a kilt pin.
