I wear mine high aprox 3 fingers below the kilt belt, I find this is just right for me

Yeah, I heard that, and wondered, "Protection from what?" Experience tells me that if the sporran is hung too low, it bounces around so that the protection you need is a cup! I always thought a sporran was worn for storage.

I tighten my sporran so that my "jewels" hang freely. If the sporran is too low, it interferes with the movement of your "boys" or "baseball parts" (bat and balls).

normaly the sporran is sited over the crotch area, there are certain advantages positioning your sporran here, also I find it the most comfortable position. place it too high and its awkward and uncomfortable, too low and its not ideal for using as a substitute to pockets, but all in all its a matter of preference.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I guess the general rule of thumb is once in the right area wear it where you feel comfortable.
