Built for the Isles and the Fight

Inspired by the shorter, more agile battle swords used by Highland clans in the western Isles, this kilt pin reflects the practicality and adaptability of seafaring warriors. Lighter than the Claymore but still bearing the forward-sloping arms, these swords were ideal for coastal raiding and close combat. Many examples have been found on old grave slabs throughout western Scotland. Cast and finished in Glasgow, this antique silver pin brings Highland history to life.

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.
