What is the purpose of the sparron? Is it like pants pockets? Or is it to keep the kilt down in front?

There are no dumb questions here! I have learned everything I know about kilts and Highland attire (which is not a lot compared to many) from asking questions, and reading responses to other people's questions, on this site.

To answer your question, yes a sporran, is designed to carry all of the typical things that you would carry in you pockets, wallet, keys etc., with the added secondary benefit of keeping the apron of your kilt planted between your legs when seated. It is not of much use in keeping you kilt down in a breeze though, as it is typically worn too high to be of much benefit there.

Welcome aboard, you are in good company here!
