Dance Information

The kilt pin is a piece of jewellery that is worn on the lower corner of the outer apron of a kilt in order to prevent the apron falling or blowing open, by adding weight to the outer apron. It does not pin the outer apron to the inner fabric.

(Dance information by the deviser, Reuben Freemantle)
