    When I made a heavy kilt pin from a 4 inch metal cross, I used two tie tack pins epoxied to the back to spread the weight across two points. It hasn't damaged my USAK casuals yet.
    Wearing the pin higher helps a lot. Wearing it too low allows the apron above to become a wind scoop.
    Another wind proofer is extra change in the sporran and wearing it lower, if needed. Experience has taught me that if it is just the lower half of the apron getting blown around, it is a non Marilyn issue.

    I like your rock pin. It has me thinking of using some thin, cut and polished, petrified wood pieces I have.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
