No. The rosettes are essentially kilt pins; the Buchan Pipe Band, which my clan society sponsors, wears a civilian version of rosettes in place of kilt pins.

Tell me more about your avatar, please. I can't quite make out the badge.

The answer is, in the Army anyhow, that a kilt pin is not worn with the large bows worn by the Black Watch (which the regiment calls "rosettes") as can be seen here:



But kilt pins ARE worn with the true rosettes worn by the Scots Guards and Royal Highland Fusiliers:

Richard,

Do you know what is the kilt pin that Pipe Major Stoddart is wearing between his rosettes?

I have a good clear photo of a different Pipe Major of the Royal Highland Fusiliers and his kilt pin doesn't look like a military kilt pin at all, but looks like the usual civilian sword-and-clan-crest style. Presumably the clan crest portion has the regimental badge, but the photo isn't clear enough to tell.
