Antique Buttons
I recently picked up these rather fine silver buttons with intertwined mythical beasts. Made by Brook & Sons, Edinburgh 1910. Considering getting them copied so that I have enough for a doublet.

Peter,
Wonderful find, they are extremely nice and will undoubtedly look quite stunning on a doublet. I have some elaborate cut steel buttons that belonged to one of my great-grandfathers/grand-uncles from their court dress. They been repurposed and mounted on a beautiful black velvet Balmoral style doublet when I inherited them. I had tried to find matching ones (Ede & Ravenscroft) and in the end had copies made in sterling silver by a friend who is a jeweller. It was actually less expensive than purchasing identical cut steel buttons.
The ones shown on the left are the copies and the originals on the right. I did have extras of the small ones cast for a waistcoat and matching cuff-links.

Both those buttons are awesome. I hope to someday get to that level of kilting. Right now, I'm still at the casual and daywear stage.

Zoomorphic pattern
I haven’t posted here in a long time but often come on to read the threads. Here is a picture of the Zoomorphic pattern silver mounts on my solo bagpipes.
