The History of Kilt Pins

Kilt pins are pins used on the lower front apron of kilts. Though popular now, kilt pins are a relatively recent addition to kilt attire. Folklore suggests usage began in the Victorian era, and provides one with a delightful anecdote on its origins. During a visit to Balmoral Castle, Queen Victoria inspected the famed Douglas Highlanders, a regiment noted for its bravery. The wind blew fierce and one young soldier encountered great difficulty holding his position. Kilts are frequently worn without undergarments and the queen noticed the soldier's struggle to appear modest and yet stand still. Taking a brooch from her own clothing, she kindly pinned the soldier's kilt.

Functional and Decorative

The kilt pin attaches to the front apron only of your kilt, positioned on the right-hand side approximately 4 inches from the bottom hem. Its 30g weight helps prevent the kilt from flapping open while the detailed sword design adds visual interest to your Highland outfit. This combination of form and function has made kilt pins an essential component of traditional Scottish dress since the Victorian era.
