Can you wear a sgian dubh in public?

Yes, you can wear a sgian dubh in public, particularly as part of traditional Scottish dress, such as a kilt outfit. However, it's important to check local laws and regulations regarding carrying knives, as some places may have restrictions on size and type. In many contexts, especially at formal events or Highland games, it is seen as a cultural symbol rather than a weapon. Always ensure it is worn discreetly and appropriately.
