What are Kilt Pins

The Kilt pin is a piece of jewellery that is usually worn on the lower corner of the outer apron of a Kilt.

Kilt pins come in various sizes and designs.  The most popular designs seem to be Sword and Celtic patterns.

During a visit to Balmoral Castle (Queen Victoria’s favourite Scottish Residence) she was inspecting a regiment of Scottish soldiers, on a particularly windy day she noticed one soldier struggling to keep his kilt from blowing up, she took a brooch from her own clothing and fastened it to the soldiers kilt.
