Yes, Ian Grant of Edinburgh, or Roddy Young of Inverness. I have been conversing with Roddy Young at the moment, in regards to commissioning him to create a bespoke, Macpherson 'Guardian' badge and kilt pin (the latter to be worn only for evening/formal functions, as I seldom wear a kilt pin with day attire any longer, and if I do, it is a simple, 4" silver blanket pin) in hallmarked, sterling silver for me. Naturally, since these items are highly bespoke and made of the finest material, expertly crafted by superb silversmiths, they are indeed rather expensive.

Check them out!

Cheers,

Of course we also have the less expensive, standard pewter ones.

I can vouch for the quality and beauty of these badges as I ordered one of them when they first became available, and it resides on my 'go to' Balmoral for wear at every opportunity. Far superior in appearence to any of the cast pewter or even silver plated versions I have in the same clan badge from several other manufacturers and vendors. And the Forrester is not one of the commonly produced clan badges.
