    kilt pin...

    Some regiments use a hat pin as their kilt pin in memory of this, though it is simply decoration.
    Can't say I have ever heard of any of the regiments using a hat pin -- the Black Watch uses tartan rosettes, the Argylls use the so-called "kilt panel", and then of course, there is also the standard-issue "safety pin":



    More about the Argyll's "kilt panel":

    Cheers,

    OK, I was going off the cuff and remembered that from somewhere,but not sure where. When it comes to Highlander Regiment stuff, I turn it to him. He knows his stuff in that field FAR better than I do.
