    Question Scottish District Lapel Pins???

    I'm hoping someone can assist me.
    I collect small clutch back lapel pins that represent the countries / regions my ancestors came from, such as these Irish County Crest lapel pins.

    What I would like to know is there anything similar that represents the Scottish Districts / Regions? In particular I'm seeking a lapel pin that is for the area of Locharber / Keppoch.

    If such items exist I'd sure appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
    Thanks

    p.s. -- just for the record, the gal who's website I linked doesn't know if there are any such Scottish pins as I seek. She mainly deals in Irish related items.

    I am not sure that I have seen lapel pins. Key rings, paper weights yes, although MacDonell of Keppoch, or, Lochaber(not Locharber) would be rare. I will keep an eye open for you. You could, I suppose, have a Lochaber tartan kilt made?-----------Jock now dives for cover!

    Ha! Ha! nice one
    It's on the list!

    Thanks for catching that spelling error, I knew better (rummy headed here).
    And thanks Jock, I appreciate you keeping an eye open.
