Brief: Kilt wearers could find themselves facing prosecution if they do not have a licence for sporrans made from animals, it emerged.
Under new legislation which has been introduced in Scotland people wearing any part of a protected animal need to obtain a licence.
The laws have been drawn up to protect endangered species like badgers and otters, whose fur used to be favoured by sporran makers.
People who apply for a licence must prove that the animal was killed lawfully before they will be able to get one.
