kilt pin position: Vert. / Horiz.?

[macwilkin]

The plain diaper-pin looking thing is a Scottish regimental pin, I think, and is worn vertically. In a quick check, I could not find any documentation for that, but I believe I've seen it worn as part of a military uniform. Personally, I think they're too boring to bother with, even in silver.

Correct on both accounts in regards to the military-issue kilt pin.

I like them with day attire; one of my friends has a nice one in silver with a Celtic cross & a green stone in the center, which is rather nice.

Cheers,

I think the type of Kilt Pin that is referred to is similiar to an item on Ebay:
RARE VINTAGE STYLE SILVER KILT PIN w ONYX HEART CHARMS Item number: 5009048402.
Go to www.ebay.com and in the search field enter the item #
5009048402. This example shows three loops with jeweled charms hanging
off each of the encrusted loops of the kilt pin. If you enter "kilt pin" in the
search field you will bring up all manner and types of kilt pins. The usual
standard bill of fare and other novelty types as well as very expensive
bejeweled ones such as this example. Hope this illustrates/explains what is
mentioned here!
