📜 The Story Behind the Sgian Dubh

• Traditionally worn in the top of the stocking with Highland attire, in open view to show friendship and peaceful intent

• The name Sgian Dubh is thought to derive from:

  1. Its dark appearance – early handles were carved from black bog wood

  2. Its once-concealed nature – a discreet blade carried for protection in the past

• Note: The Sgian Dubh is not, and should never be considered, a weapon — it is a ceremonial accessory with deep cultural roots
