| | | Scotland 2005 Holiday Photos
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.

Nice pictures!
As for the shell, it is a Christian symbol for baptism. you will often see baptismal fonts that are patterned after a shell and quite often a shell is used to pour water over the celebrant's head.

I agree with you on that too Mike the shell is used for Baptisms in my local Catholic Church

That particular shell is indeed a symbol of pilgrimage (although yes, it's also a symbol of baptism, and many baptismal font dippers are shaped as a scallop shell). Here's a picture of the shell being sold along with walking sticks for the famous 900km Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrim trail in France and Spain:
