Wow! SB are you suggesting that I should wear a censer instead of a sporran? That, methinks, would be playing with fire!!! ;)

As we are always saying: there really are no rules as such when it comes to kilt wearing, but there is a lot of tradition. When I first became a kilt owner, back in the 1950s, that was the position recommended to me by the kiltmaker and I have since aimed for roughly that spot with all my subsequent kilt pins.

Whilst we have traditions to uphold, that is not to say that we cannot position a kilt pin wherever we wish. Don't forget, unless we are in the Army or in a pipe band, our kilts are not uniforms - nor are they costumes. They are everyday garments to be worn formally, informally or downright casually - but with respect.
