From the eighteenth century onwards, small plain heart shaped brooches were worn to protect against evil spirits, the evil eye or the attention of the sithean (fairy spirits). These are the famous “Luckenbooth Brooches”It is often in the shape of  two entwined hearts symbolizing love and with a crown to symbolize loyalty

The Luckenbooth is one of the most romantic traditions from Scotland’s rich history. Luckenbooths as love tokens are given by a groom-to-be to his betrothed to pin to her dress on their wedding day. The luckenbooth would then be pinned to the blanket of the first-born child for good luck and to protect from evil spirits.
