Scotland 2005 Holiday Photos

**Daneel** · 20th October 05, 03:31 PM

Just a wee note to say that my Scotland holiday shots are now online @ www.quietwood.net under kilted holidays. By the way the site is being worked on as often as I have time to sit down and think about it. As a result bits are missing. I aim to have it sorted very soon. I have another site which I will be closing at some stage called www.snlapping.co.uk have a look before it goes.

Great pic's Daneel,
I think the scallop shell is a pilgrims symbol. When walking the pilgrims way from Winchester to Cantabury many years ago, shells were used as a sybol on the signs

BTW nice to see that sporran in action

Great shots Simon!

My favourite is you next to Rob Roy's grave, I guess because I went there and can relate to it well. The KA kilt looks good too.

Beautiful pics Daneel. Was in many of those places myself this summer.
We spent a wonderful afternoon at the little beach and pier at Luss.

Thanks for sharing!

Those pics are wonderful. Thanks for sharing them.

I had not thought, lately, about how much I've always wanted to go over there. You have reminded me.

I see you're from N. Ireland, and I've always wanted to go there, too. My Scottish ancestors spent quite a while there before leaving for N. America.

David,

You are correct! The scallop is a symbol of a pilgrim, especially one who makes a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compestella in NE Spain, to the shrine of St. James (Santiago) the Apostle. In my church we have the coat-of-arms of various saints displayed in the nave of the church (it was common to give arms to religious figures in the Middle Ages), and the scallop is on the arms of St. James.

Cheers,

Todd
