April 09- Unicorns

I tried to find one but not happening and while this isn't a national day in the US in honor of tartan week it is National Unicorn Day which is actually celebrated in Scotland!!!

The mythical creature is a symbol of nobility and power and has been the nation's favored beast since the 14th Century. Some of Scotland's most historic buildings have statutes and images of unicorns:

National War Museum at Edinburgh Castle

The Queens Gallery in the Palace at Holyrood House

At the Fountain in the Courtyard at Linlithgow Palace

This photo is the only water based unicorn on the HM Frigate in Dundee, Scotland's only surviving example of a wooden warship. For a life sized sculpture head to Cromarty on the Black Isle to the Stables, a converted Georgian building which now houses a gallery & studio.


Of course for the real thing , join Quests & Retreats for a Unicorn Quest exploring the landscapes and forests of Dumfries in search of the mysterious creature!!!


 For my hunt it is finally a trip The Cloisters to see the Mystic Hunt of the Unicorn  tapestry. Photos, if allowed, to follow...
