What Do the Tassels on a Sporran Mean?

Here's a classic question -- Is there any meaning or history behind sporran tassels? As a matter of fact there is. It's mainly technical.

A wee heads up. Lived in Scotland all my life and anyone that's been here kens the midgies are after ye so I heard back in the day, supposedly when folk kept food in their pouches, the tassles were to swot the midgies away. Hahahaha Dinnae ken if that's true or myth but the idea of folk waivin their tassles about midgies around their crotch just tickles me aye, so thought I'd share the love for the comedy of that image

I’ve seen 5 tassels on a sporran I knew what the 3 tassels stood for but the 5 I was wondering what’s that about does that mean anything different or is it the same as 3 tassels

Sporrans have increased in technology?

[@Timetravel1111]

Ha ha nooo but funny

[@oldgoat8861]

Just like a "possables bag" us outdoorsman use for hiking and camping. Just yours is worn in the front instead of of high on the hip. Also gives a visual msg of clan if so desired. Where I live though instead of to sales I'd want "a BEAR BELL" so they know your coming. Nothing's meaner than a startled bear.

So what is the significance of the embellishment on Eric's sporran?

[@USAKiltsOfficial]

Just a design... no significance.

[@cyclonetaylor7838]

No, no ,no. It means you aren't wearing underwear, and things are swinging free under your kilt. Lol
