Welcome Mike. Basically, you want the sporran out of the way; i.e., not limiting your movement. If it's bothering you, it's probably too low (most people where the sporran too low, rather than too hight). The basic rule of thumb is that the top of the sporran in worn 4 finger widths below the bottom of your belt. You may also want to check out the pics section to see some examples. I hope that helps.
