I think that symbolism can be over done. I have a tie embroidered with thistles and another with rampant lions; and yes, I wear them with my kilts. But the thing is that my general trappings have neither of these symbols. Though I must admit that I was considering a pair of silver rampant lion cuff links, but that's because the chapter of the reenactment troop I'm part of has a white lion on it's shield. My plaid brooch and belt buckle are a matching set of "Celtic" crosses, but to my medievalist eyes they look a bit more Anglo-Saxon. I try to avoid too much of the gimmicky looking stuff. As to the Elmo skin sporran, well I would rather it were a full mask.
Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!
