Symbol of Courage, Pride, and Power

The Lion Rampant has stood as a symbol of Scottish monarchs since at least the 13th century, representing courage, bravery, and the unyielding spirit of the Scots. The term "rampant" refers to a beast standing on its hind legs with raised claws—poised and ready to strike. This kilt pin captures that powerful stance in intricate detail, highlighting the strength and nobility behind the national emblem. Crafted entirely in Scotland and cast in lead-free pewter, it’s a bold way to wear centuries of heritage.

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.
