    New Welsh Kilt Pin

    I have just bought a new Welsh Kilt Pin. There was a choice of coloured stone at the top .. red or green .. both reflecting colours in the Welsh Flag. I chose green as the pin sits directly over the embroidered red welsh dragon logo on my Welsh kilt.

    That is one very nice pin, Derek. Of course, since I have no (known) Welsh connections, I could not POSSIBLY be seen wearing one like it

    VERY nice pin, I love something a little different.

    Hamish, who knows, we may all have a little Welsh in us. I think there are some Jones' back in my family tree.

    Yeah Graham, and it comes out whenever any of us are waiting for a new kilt.

    Nice kilt pin Derek! Did you get it from the Welsh Tartan Centre? They have some really nice things, but because of the UK/USA exchange rate, are very expensive.

    I'm still considering a Llewellyn tartan kilt to celebrate my Welsh ancestry. I recently found out that my mother's family came from Merthyr Tydfil.

    To add to what the others say I cannot say anything better than they, it is truly a great looking pin!

    I have some Jones in my CD case...Tom Jones! Does this qualify me?

    Seriously, great pin Derek. I do have some Welsh blodd in here some where, and am still searching for a way to celebrate it.

    Love the pin Derek,
    Look after it. Use some hot glue on the clasp so it stays shut .Alternatively clip up a rubber band and fit it as shown in my gallery....I know what its like to lose a kilt pin
