I don't know if there's a hard-and-fast rule which can be stated in specific inches, but rather a range of things that "look correct" to experienced kiltwearers.

I always like to go back for a broad overview of things. Here you see the sporran worn more or less the same height over the centuries:









But for some reason it became a bit of a fashion in the 19th century to wear the sporran rather low. This was done both by civilians and in the military:





Today, wearing the sporran that low would look "wrong".

I also see very often, especially in current photos of models wearing Kilt Hire outfits, the wearing of the sporran too high.
