Four new Kilt Pins
It has been a while since I treated myself to any new kilt pins and, being pretty much fanatical about having a pin for every kilt, I tend to have more pins than kilts! However, that has not been the case of late and when I saw these recently I thought it best to get my hands on them - in readiness for any forthcoming, and as yet unplanned, kilts!
The first two in pewter are finely detailed in a 'stag' theme:
These two are also in pewter but are contemporary in appearance and are based on Celtic designs:
OK, all I need now are the kilts to show them off!
Take care,
Ham.

Congratulations, Hamish. That must make a hundred kilt pins...

I really like the last one, simple yet fluid in design, where did you find it? I like you am always looking for another kilt pin.

Very nice indeed, Hamish. I especially like #3 down--neat traditional/ modern design.

Yes Glen, I like that one very much also. The 3rd and 4th pins came from Slanj Kilts in Glasgow ( www.slanjkilts.com ).
Take care,

99? did you say 99? Oh my Hamish that just won't do - I don't know how you can sleep at night with such an odd number of kilt pins! Please find ONE MORE to put in your collection so I can sleep at night! 
By the way I love the craftsmanship of the second kilt pin.

#2 is my favorite. If you don't mind my asking, where did it come from?
I will find something clever to put here later...
