Kilts in Stained Glass

[MacRobert's Reply]

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights at the Huntly Arms Hotel in Aboyn earlier this week. The decor was a bit tired but the food was good. In the lounge bar they have this rather fine stained-glass window.


Sadly I only had the camera on my mobile phone with me so the quality is not as good as I would have wished.

Nice window. It looks like a highland games theme? Dancers and some other activity in the background? Is there a connection of "games" to the Hotel?

On those two sites is a bit more about the Donald Dinnie window.

Very nice.

For those who are interested the coat of arms on the left belongs to the Marquis of Huntly; those on the right are the City of Aberdeen ; and those in centre bottom are the Royal coat of arms as used in Scotland.

Yes indeed O'Searcaigh, the Aboyn Highland Games take place just across the road from the Hotel.

Here's a thread a I started a while back in regards to the annual Aboyne Highland games. It may be of some interest.
