Leather sporran strap etiquette

[Jock Scot]

In a fairly long kilt wearing life, I cannot recall anyone even discussing where the leather sporran strap buckle goes. I put mine at the back and have, I suppose, always assumed everyone else does the same. Although, I can't see that anyone would bother if someone did something else, with their buckle. I suppose it is a wee tad smarter to have the buckle out of sight.
