The plaid is rarely worn in Scotland today but when it is the brooch attaches the plaid to the jacket and is nestled in the hollow below the shoulder on your left side. The day plaid is worn primarily by feathered chaps with lots of land in the Highlands, is just folded about and laid to rest (you will know that expression) on the left shoulder and doesn't use a pin to keep it there. Ah gravity: for some it is good, whilst for others it's a simple recognition of aging.

If you are thinking about plaids and brooches, you are probably talking about a fly plaid, like the one pictured below from scotweb , not a day plaid many examples of which have appeared in this thread.
