Kilt Pin – Inverloch, West Highland Galley (Birlinn)

Oars, Steel, and the Sea — The Birlinn Lives On This kilt pin honors the birlinn, or West Highland galley—a rugged sea vessel once vital to life, trade, and war in the Western Isles. Often depicted in Scottish heraldry, the birlinn was paired here with a short Highland battle sword, both inspired by carvings found on ancient graveslabs of the region. A tribute to seaborne strength and Celtic resilience, this pewter pin is designed and cast in Glasgow to keep those traditions moving forward.
