    Actually, I have ordered a St Andrew bonnet badge myself, AKScott.
    Not sure whether I will wear it on my kilt, but I might on occasion.
    And, The Barry, I had no intention of offending you. Please accept my apologies if it seemed that way.
    Regards,

    Here is one that I wear. Check our advertisers for more ideas. I believe this one was made by Art Pewter, and is called Tobermory. You should be able to find it, it's no longer listed where I think I bought it.

    I have seen it done before, to great effect, with a bit of grosgrain ribbon behind to denote the 'season'.

    Regards

    If you have any nautical background a mariner's cross could look cool as well.

    I certainly wear a Celtic cross - for obvious reasons! As per denominations, I'm Anglican, and the kilt is Ancient Clergy (blue) I'm going to enjoy collecting a variety of pins; I just bought a Grouse claw on E-Bay and am looking forward to trying that. I think I'd enjoy a round Celtic Cross too. Less places for it to catch.

    I' use my Grandfather's retirement badge as a kilt pin. It attracts a lot of attention. I have also experimented with other things. Some worked, most didnt. Super Glue works wonders.

    Like everyone else has said, go for it. Beyond the practical limits of size and weight, the only limits are your budget and taste.

    I don't recall who it was, but a fellow on here is an avid fisherman. He had several variations of rainbow trout pins he used for kilt pins. Many choose to have something meaningful for a kilt pin. As a Christian, the cross is meaningful. It would make a great kilt pin, both in design and function.

    Like most things, the basic questions are:
    Do you like it?
    Can you afford it?
    If yes to both, go for it.
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?

    I like that one.

    I like the looks of that cross pin. Can you recall the supplier for it?

    Darned if I remember. Bought it in a tiny shop in St. Andrew's just down the street from the ruins of old St. Andy's cathedral.
