And pretty much everything else! Different kilt, jacket, hose...but my shoes and bonnet in the recent photo were both purchased in the 1980s.
About the history of kilt pins, I have loads of vintage photographs and of course we have The Highlanders Of Scotland, and kilt pins aren't seen much in the 19th century. They became popular in the early years of the 20th century and can be viewed as part of the near-complete makeover of Highland Dress at that time.
