Sir Walter Scott Clyde Valley Trailさんのイラストまとめ

Illustrations of Queen Mary's Well, Barncluith and Bothwell Bridge from an 1882 newspaper article, both favourite subjects of artists in the 19th century

Beautiful 19th century engraving of Douglas Castles, old and new - only the old tower survives. @TheCastleGuy @TheCastleHunter @bryan_frame @DouglasStBrides @REALgrouptweets @Fluffy_LeMonde

A passing shade of doubt and awe;
Some fiend was whispering in his breast;

Dark as the purposed deed, I chose,
And mark'd, where, mingling in his band,
Troop'd Scottish pikes and English bows.

In haughty triumph marched he,
While Knox relax'd his bigot pride,
And smiled, the traitorous pomp to see.

The tradition of the shooting of the POPINJAY - the parrot-shaped target was originally used for archery practise, but by the time of Sir Walter Scott's "Old Mortality" the bow had given way to the musket!
