Welcome aboard,
My kilt pins just go kinda sorta there, depending on the tartan pattern in the area. Do try to keep them vertical though.
And, just to add an addiction to an addiction...ya gotta buy a seperate kilt pin for each kilt so you can leave it in once you get the placement right and you don't have to chew you kilt aprons up moving one pin from kilt to kilt.
So, enjoy your sub-addiction to your main kilt addiction too

Or, don't wear it. I haven't worn a Kilt pin in many years. But then I never was into any kind of jewelery until only recently.

Really, vertical? hhmmm everyone says mine is low, but no one ever said anything bad about it being diagonal.
I have it diagonal across a square on the apron.
Added-pinned to the front apron only

I got into the conversation of what exactly is the kilt pin supposed to be pinned to? Is it just for the front of the kilt or does it hit the fabric behind the front?? Would love to know how people pin it and what they pin it to.....

The only thing I know for certain is that the kilt pin only goes through the apron. Also It's your kilt pin anywhere you feel that it looks good.(As long as it is in the lower corner,somewhere) Enjoy!

Wouldn't an ultimately traditional kilt pin be chosen, given, and placed on the kilt by a fine lady?

I prefer not to use a kilt pin, as I have only one tartan kilt and don't want to put any holes in it. Otherwise, here is a great set of steps I've found to figure out exactly where a kilt pin is supposed to go.
1. buy kilt pin
2
( if married/engaged). apporach significant other with pin. (if single) approach female friend (if VERY single) approach shapely female. 3. ask newly-found kilt admirer to place kilt pin and point to the general area where it "should" go.
4. Enjoy following random kilt-checks and other acts due a man in a kilt.

kilt pin placement
Ok, so I guess I'll just decide where to place my kilt pin...I have two of them, both belonged to my Grandma Anderson.
I was surprised by all of the responses. Thanks so much. I'm new at this, and may have more questions in the future.
