@astroroyalscot.bsky.social. Hello Professor Heymans, I am interested in Scottish heraldry and wondered if you make use of, or would ever plan to use, the coat of arms of theAstronomer Royal of Scotland?

I did not win the World Haggis Eating Championships on Saturday, but I did get to eat a pound of free haggis so that's almost like winning (I'm the one in the kilt at one end of the table) www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5565...

This display of coats of arms and flags could well have been one of the most colourful sights amongst the already incredibly colourful Edinburgh Tartan Parade! A very stirring image from a celebratory occasion.

Arms of James Stewart, Duke of Ross. Stained glass in Stirling Castle. Quarterly, 1 & 4 Or a lion rampant gules within a double tressure flory-counterflory of the same (Scotland); 2 Gules three lions rampant argent (Ross); 3 Or three piles gules (Brechin). #Heraldry #StainedGlassSunday #Photography

A photograph of heraldic stained glass. A central shield is surmounted by a golden coronet and surrounded by a circular golden halo decorated with leaves. The shield is divided into quarters. The upper-left and lower-right of these each display a gold background upon which is found a red lion in rampant posture within a double-border pierced by fleurs-de-lys in the same colour. The upper-right quarter displays three white lions in rampant posture upon a red background. The lower-left quarter shows three red isosceles triangles, meeting at the top and pointing straight down, upon a gold background. Outside the halo is a regular diamond pattern of plain glass.

I forgot to tell you all I had a good Sunday roast at The Grey's Inn at Embleton a while back - very worthy winners of this award.

If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain, while sustaining himself on a bit of dram.

For @jeelyeater1.bsky.social and other stained glass appreciators - windows in Mid-Deeside Church, Torphins.

stained glass in memory of Graeme Aiken Whitton, who died 24th May 1979. A New Testament scene is depicted (i think, Jesus being baptised by John the Baptist)

Practice piece, coat of arm of an online acquaintance. The b̶e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ art practice will continue until m̶o̶r̶a̶l̶e̶ output improves.

Arms of an online acquaintance: Per pale Sable and Argent, a chestnut tree erased, per pale in dexter Or fructed Gules and in sinister blasted Sable.

In plain language, a chestnut tree, split down the middle. One half is gold with red chestnuts and black background, the other half is black with a white background. I should have made the leaves bigger, amongst other things

Arms of an online acquaintance painted by me, featuring millet as the main charge. There are at least four things I would do differently, but other than that, it's not a terrible rendition. #heraldry

a blue shield with three stalks of millet. the top bit is 'silver' aka white with three blue stars each with four points. the line separating the blue and white is zig-zag.
In heraldry speak: Azure, issuant from point three stalks of millet Or, on a chief indented Argent three mullets of four Azure

Joining with thie year's #Heraldecember every day until I forget #heraldecember2024 #heraldry 1. Rhapsody

a picture of a white shield, on which are five thin black bars and three blue 'water-bougets'. The drawing prompt for today is Rhapsody, and the water-bougets going upwards are meant to look a bit like musical notes, alluding to the famous clarinet glissando at the start of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue - but you had guessed that already, hadn't you?
