Why our customers love us! Scottish jewellery regained popularity in the mid 19th century due to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's love of all things Scottish... The custom of wearing a kilt pin reputedly came about when Queen Victoria was viewing a parade in windy conditions and a soldier was struggling to keep his modesty and his kilt in order... The story goes that the Queen offered her own brooch to the soldier and thereafter ordered every soldier to acquire a pin to fasten his kilt! In current times TV shows such as Outlander have increased interest in collecting Scottish brooches...
