The kilt pin is a beautiful piece of jewellery which is worn on the outer layer of the kilt; it is usead as a weight to prevent the kilt from lifting upwards which is always helpful, we wouldn’t want any accidents now! Our range of kilts pins are available in both pewter and sterling silver.
The sgian-dubh (Gaelic for black or hidden knife) is a small, single-edged knife worn as part of traditional Scottish Highland dress along with the kilt. Originally used for eating and preparing fruit, meat, and cutting bread and cheese, as well as serving for other more general day-to-day uses such as cutting material and protection, it is now worn as part of traditional Scottish dress tucked into the top of the kilt hose with only the upper portion of the hilt visible. The sgian-dubh is normally worn on the same side as the dominant hand.
The sporran, a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress, is a pouch that performs the same function as pockets on the pocketless kilt. Made of leather or fur, the ornamentation of the sporran is chosen to complement the formality of dress worn with it. The sporran is worn on a leather strap or chain.
The quaich is a traditional Scottish drinking cup usually reserved for the drinking of a dram of whisky or brandy. The name derives from the Gaelic word for cup.
Our range of quaichs are made from high quality pewter and are available in a variety of sizes, designs and price range.
We have a large range of pewter and stainless steel hips flasks and drinking vessels, many of which are suitable for use inside of sporrans. In addition, we also supply a number of pewter tankards.
Our pocket watches are either Quartz, which are battery operated, or Mechanical which use a clockwork mechanism. A mechanical watch is driven by a mainspring which must be wound periodically by hand.
The quartz watch is a half hunter - one side opens. The mechanical watch is a 17 jewel full hunter with both sides opening. The Prestige watches are all mechanical and have a higher quality movement.
It is important to get your measurements as accurate as possible to ensure that we provide you with a good fitting Kilt or Outfit.
