Looks good and I don't see a broblem with the location of the sporran either.

In dutch...translated to english...we call it "our noble parts"...so it must be a good place for honorable objects also

As an Honorably Discharged Veteran of the US Army, I personally think it looks great and would love to see it worn with the US Army taratan!

i think the sporran looks fine. i never would have assumed the possibility of offense until it was mentioned here. in my opinion no part of the human body is offensive, who would dare to think of God's creation as offensive?

"our noble parts"... that is a great way to think about it. it is sad that in English the words we use for our noble parts are clinical, juvenile or crass. (language is always a great insight into a culture)

Many of the Highland regiments had special sporran badges, including the famous "Jimmy" badge of the Black Watch (St. Andrew & his cross) and the Gordon's stag's head -- I think this is in a similar vein, and quite appropriate.
