    What an interesting topic. I really hadn't thought much about it until I read the various opinions on the subject. I marked "Rarely" because I usually wear my kilt pins on my Maclaine of Lochbuie tanks and I don't wear them very often. I have several other kilts that I wear for casual outings and find the pin unecessary then. In addition I find that my standard MoL clan kilt pin has a tendency to become unfastened and have lost two or three of them. I also wear very little or no jewelry or a watch (bling). My personal preference only.

    I selected "Quite Often", because the only time I don't wear a kilt pin is when I forget to put one on. I love 'em.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I'm in the always camp . Like many others , once I put the kilt pin in place it rarely comes off unless changing pins or kilt being cleaned . After 42 years of being kilted , no snags or rips . However , I can certainly understand OC Richard's viewpoint , kilt pins can be a problem waiting to happen for pipers and drummers , especially in close quarters .
