📜 The Origin of the Sgian Dubh

The name Sgian Dubh, meaning “Black Knife” in Gaelic, may have two origins:

• Appearance: Traditionally carved from black bog wood, with blades that darkened over time

• Tradition: Once concealed as a personal blade, it is now worn visibly in the stocking during Highland dress to show friendship and goodwill

Note: The Sgian Dubh is not intended as a weapon – it is a ceremonial and decorative part of Highland attire.
