The Legend Beneath the Mountain

This striking kilt pin is inspired by the ancient Welsh tale of Dinas Emrys, where two dragons—one red, one white—clashed beneath the earth. The red dragon, now the symbol of Wales, emerged victorious, a prophecy of triumph over oppression. First mentioned as a national emblem around 829 AD, the dragon has come to represent courage, resilience, and cultural pride. This pin, cast in pewter and crafted in Scotland, brings that fire to life in bold Highland fashion.

Common Questions Asked About This Pin

Where is a kilt pin worn?
A kilt pin is worn on the front apron of the kilt on the wearer’s right side, typically near the lower outer corner. When looking down at your kilt, it should be positioned on the right-hand side of the front apron.

Does a kilt pin hold the kilt closed?
No. The straps and buckles secure the kilt. A kilt pin may add a small amount of weight to the outer apron, which can help in windy conditions, but it is primarily a decorative accessory.

Which part of the kilt does the pin attach to?
A kilt pin should be attached only to the outer apron of the kilt. It should never be pinned through both aprons.
