Plaid brooches
An old plaid brooch called a pennanular broochThe brooch used to pin a woman's arisaid would usually be made of gold, silver or brass and, just like the men's silver buttons, were frequently passed down from mother to daughter. The brooches were often engraved with patterns or illustrations of animals.
Luckenbooths.
Luckenbooths were heart-shaped brooches usually given as tokens of
love. They were called luckenbooth because they were sold in jewellers'
"locked booths" situated near St Giles Kirk in Edinburgh. They were
also known as Queen Mary Brooches and were said to have been pinned to
the shawl of every new born girl. The engraving on the back of the
brooches seems to prove that they were tokens of love and two such
inscriptions were:
My heart is thine and thine I crave
and
Wrong not the heart whose joy thou art
