sporran
Highland belt bag
A sporran is the pouch worn at the front of a kilt, hanging from a belt or chain at the waist.
It serves as a pocket, since traditional kilts have none.
Sporrans range from simple leather pouches for everyday wear to elaborate designs with fur, tassels, and metalwork for formal occasions.
The word is Scottish Gaelic.
