   Extractions: mail@scottish-gallery.co.uk The Scottish Gallery Now Showing About Us Contact Artists Crafts History Publications Recent Exhibitions 9 September - 2 October 2002 Since the time of the great clockmakers in the 18th Century, artists have turned their skill to creating mechanical toys and automata. David Swift, who is based in Scotland, creates modern automata, surreal toys and murals in carved wood. Swift, who studied Fine Art in Edinburgh and Mime with the Lecoq School in Paris, casts a satirical eye over a wide spectrum of modern life, which he translates into a vivid cast of characters, both animal and human. Harpy Couple, 2002, carved wood Collection of Brooches Eileen Gatt studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and the Royal College of Art in London. She works predominantly in silver often in conjunction with wood, acrylic and stone. The inspiration for her work is drawn from Scottish mythology and customs. Born and brought up in the Black Isle, where she still lives and works, Gatt has always had a fascination for the many stories and legends that were part of her Highland life. In 1997 a Royal Academy scholarship enabled her to travel to Alaska to study Inuit work. Here she found an interesting parallel between her own desire to interpret ancient stories in new ways and much modern Inuit carving. For example her use of seal motifs, inspired by some of the ancient Highland Selkie stories, found an echo in Inuit carving in which the seal is revered as a sacred animal, because of its essential role in feeding and clothing the Inuit.

3. Scottish Heraldry
   (and thus adopted by the Hamiltons), and the salmon is symbolic in Irish and scottish mythology of the wisdom of the king.  
   http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/Scottisharms.htm
   
   Extractions: The reason for this is that in Scotland we have a system of family arms, whereby almost all arms granted to the same name are based on the arms of the chief of that name, even when no blood relationship can be proved. Our feeling of clan or family is so strong that we automatically accept the correctness of this approach, which has, of course, evolved slowly over the centuries. The major consequence of this is that we have retained in our arms the traditional mediaeval charges and patterns of charges. This in its turn has meant that we had to devise a system for differencing these newer arms from those of the chief. This is further complicated by the Scottish doctrine that one coat of arms can be born by one man only. In the earliest mediaeval days, differencing was often achieved by a change of tincture. Thus Home, which was a cadet of march, derives from March by substituting a green field for the red of March. Again we know that the senior line of the ancient Comyns, Comyn of Badenoch, bore a red shield, while the cadet line of Buchan, ancestors of modern Comyns, changed their tincture to blue. The chevron was also often introduced into a coat as a difference, eg Brodie (probably) from Innes and certainly in the case of Nisbet of Dirleton. These differences by tincture, or by the addition of ordinaries such as the chevron were perhaps sufficient in early mediaeval times. However, as the number of armigers became greater, and because each armiger had to have his own distinctive, and thus differenced, arms, there developed the use of bordures to act as differences. For example a bordure counter-compony, ie of two rows of alternating blue and silver squares. often elongated, slowly became a mark of bastardy. The bordures themselves were often dimidiated or even quartered and various lines of partition were used, so that the inside of the bordure might be engrailed or wavy.

13. A Mythology For The Third Millennium…
    Roman and Greek mythology provided Sol and Helios, the sun gods. scottish mythology gives us the Loch Ness Monster.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/mythology.html
    
    Extractions: the whole body of myths When we look back on history, mythology has an importance and impact roughly the same as actual fact. Mythology is the source of our childhood fears, of things that go bump in the night, of things better left unnamed. Mythology is the sole source of religion. Mythology has served to answer life’s greatest questions, if somewhat inaccurately. Roman and Greek mythology provided Sol and Helios, the sun gods. Scottish mythology gives us the Loch Ness Monster. American myths tell of Sasquatch or Big Foot and are paralleled by the Himalayan Rakshasa or Yeti. All of our Gods, demons, superstitions, heroes and heroines are alive in myth. But, I fear we have ushered them to death’s door, and are asking for them, the long sleep. As man’s intelligence and wisdom increase we place more and more of our faith in the new religion…science. Man has mapped the genome. We know that people born with tails were not the result of an unholy union with a demon. We know the sun is not a blazing chariot pulled across the sky. We know the Earth does not rest upon the back of a giant turtle. I have enough concerns without worrying about a giant turtle deciding to take a walk closer to the sun.

    Extractions: Welcome! This page is essentially a massive list of links to sites about mythology, folklore, and religion. I've tried to sort them all by category, which has the advantage that it (theoretically, at any rate) makes it easier to find what you're looking for, but can lead to some pretty deeply nested subdivisions and also means that a lot of these pages do link to each other. There are links here to almost every relevant page I can find "almost" because there are a few things I don't have here: pages not in English, usenet sites, urban folklore and cyberlore sites, or any pages relating to "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys." That's about it . . . happy mything! Other Lists O' Links Myths and Legends from Chris Siren and Myth and Legend from Philip "Pib" Burns are two of the best resources out there Mythtext: Mythology from All Over the World has an impressive amount of links to texts, bibliographies, FAQs, and other sites
