I always thought it was to hide, uhh, unwanted protrusions.
dude, do you think any steel or leather could possibly contain a Scottish hammer?
Jeez!
[edit] Text of interest
When playing golf, driving a car, dancing or engaging in any activity where a heavy pouch might hurt, the wearer often turns the sporran and chain around the waist to let it hang on his hip in a more casual position.
This is not speculation, this is what one does. Try to drive with a sporran digging into your belly, and you will see the need to spin the thing to the side. It is also spun to the side when using a urinal too, but I'm not sure how to word that in an encyclopedic fashion. -Dr Haggis - Talk 05:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Highland Drummers spin the sporran to the side whilst playing it. http://www.kinnairdbagpipes.com/docs/FAQ/Dress%20Instructions%20Mar%2006.pdf
Having worn the breacan feille more than once, I can say that it does not have a gap at the front. The citation that the sporran was used to 'hide the privates' is purely fanciful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.58.201 (talk) 02:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
