Scottish Accessories Anyone?

Inspired by the Scottish Attire Anyone?” thread, this is a place to share your Scottish accessories. Sporran, sgian dubh, kilt pin, broach, cap badges, kilthose, ghillies or any other accessory.


I’ll start with mine. I designed and built the sporran myself, the sgian dubh and claymore kiltpin were purchased about 20 years ago at the time I made my kilt.
I favor the diced Glengarry cap and have an Urquhart clan badge, Queens Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, and Highland Light Infantry cap badge.

There is an article on "kilt accessories", written by myself and illustrated with a number of my own photos, on Citizendium, the would-be competitor to Wikipedia:.http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Kilt_accessories

The one accessory which I would wholeheartedly recommend is the Inverness rain cape. This is the best rain gear for wear with the kilt and it is superb for general rain wear as well. While videotaping a high school soccer game from the shelter of the covered stands, I saw one of the students at the school taking still photos from the sidelines, somewhat exposed to a steady drizzle. He was wearing a utilikilt, so I loaned him my Inverness cape for the game. He could tuck his camera away underneath the cape, bringing it out only to shoot, then return it to shelter. See the photo of the garment down towards the end of the article.
