The kilt pin is a piece of jewellery that is usually worn on the lower corner of the outer apron of a kilt. Its function is to prevent the apron falling or blowing open, by securing the outer apron to the inner apron, but sometimes it is non-functional and purely decorative.

Most kilt pins could have family clan symbols of animals and plants, while the Irish have the Irish Harp and the shamrock. The Welsh have a kilt pin also, except theirs is the red dragon of Wales.
