sporrans
Highland belt bags
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—kilts have none—and as decoration for traditional Scottish Highland dress.
Sporrans range from simple leather pouches for everyday wear to elaborate fur-covered versions with silver or pewter ornaments for formal occasions.
