SPORRAN

A sporran or sporan is a leather (sometimes seal skin) pouch or purse usually covered with fur and adorned with ornamental tassels and traditionally worn by the Scottish highlanders in front of the kilt. In Wales the sporran is known as the ysgrepan and is made of goat skin and covered with horse hair, but is otherwise very similar to the Scottish.
