 What’s in your sporran?

“Sporan” is the Gaelic word for purse. Although not initially percentage of Highland Dress, they have become an integral percentage of the ensemble.  It has made a huge transformation from the little purse of deerskin that employed to hang at the waist. There are now numerous varieties available: Leather sporrans with ornamental cantles and tassels; Horsehair for those who like the swish as they march; for the fur lovers, badger, calf, rabbit, muskrat, sealskin, or full mask sporrans. The possibilities are endless.

There have been a great deal of incorrect conceptions when it comes to the sporran.  Some believed that it was armour for the groin. This is commonly confused with the studded apron that may be found on the Roman sword belt. This Roman belt is at times referred to as a sporran or a groin guard, but is unquestionably dissimilar than the Scottish Sporran.  Some also believed  that a sporran keeps the front of the kilt down while doing energetic movements. The kilt genuinely has a double flap that crosses from left to right, and was initial designed to stay down without the aid of a sporran.

Many ask the question “what’s underneath your kilt?” but have you ever asked what’s in your sporran? For many, it acts as a pocket or a wallet, keeping cash and car keys, but for a good deal of it may hold a lot more. There are a lot of Scots who carry a little flask of whisky in their sporran. Some pipers carry extra reeds or maintenance items in their sporran- hemp, tape, whatsoever they may need at a performance or competition. Historically, a sporran could carry one’s feed rations for the day. One sporran in the National Museum in Edinburgh has a cantle with 4 concealed pistols!

So when choosing your sporran, don’t only think with regards to what it looks like, but what you might want to put into it.

Great Buy!

This was right in the price range I was looking for when I purchased this item. I was scared it might be a little too ornamental for my husband, but he loves it. I got it in time for Christmas and my husband is happy with it.
