Clan Badge Plaid Brooch

In Scotland's turbulent past it was the custom for Clan Chiefs to give their followers a metal plate of their crest, to be worn as a badge of allegiance which fastened to their clothing with a strap and buckle.

When not in use the belt was coiled around the crest and this convention is used in the clan crest badges of today.

Plaid Brooch measures 4" around and is a truly spectacular plaid brooch.

Plaid brooch is made in Scotland at the time of order. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery or contact us at orders@scottishtradingcompany.com for availability.
