Scottish Kilt Pins

A Scottish kilt pin is a lovely gift for anyone who wears the traditional Scottish Kilt.

It’s just one of the many Traditional Scottish gifts we have available to order in our online in our shop “The Perfect Scottish Gift”

Despite its name our kilt pins can also be worn as a brooch for everyday use and not simply for the “tartan Kilt”. Now that the “Wedding Season” is with us the demand for traditional Scottish dress reaches its peak with many a proud (and sometimes embarrassed) Groom walking down the isle “Swinging the kilt”.

The Scottish kilt is amongst the most unique parts of the country’s identity and subsequently can be traced back to the 16th century, when it appeared as a belted plaid. This evolved from a thick woollen cloth, known as “Tartan” with the word ‘kilt’ potentially being Nordic in origin. Others believe it comes from a Scots word that means to tuck up clothes around the body.

We supply a wide range of pins sourced from well respected and renowned suppliers in the West of Scotland, many of which are by our friends at Pewtermill who personally design and hand manufacture stunning pewter pieces that will adorn any style of Tartan.

Scottish kilt pins are pieces of jewellery that usually adorn the lower corner of the outer apron of your kilt. They’re ideal for preventing it from falling or blowing open. Additionally, Kilt pins are a lovely decoration, especially for special occasions like weddings. Many people use the smaller ones as simple brooches.

Kilt pins are just one of the many pieces of Scottish jewellery you’ll find on our website.
