Looks like it was a great event. My wife and I took Scottish country dance lessons with Pete and Mary Campbell in Greensboro before our wedding and invited the whole class to perform at the reception...

Better yet, a photo of an actual wax impression would be nice.

Well, it's really more of an homage to the arms of the monarch of Scotland. But it is a nice carving for sure.

I guess the whole thing boils down to whether your primary goal is to justify the status quo or to do things correctly. I can see an argument for both sides, but it is silly to say something is...

I have "subscribed" to the Kentucky section, so the forum sends me an email when people post here. That way I don't have to worry about checking it when I'm online. :wink:

Navigate back to "Forum:...

A little more notice and I will try to make another meet-up. I have seen The Pub, but don't go out on the town very often and so haven't had the opportunity of checking it out. I see on their...

See the Artificer facebook page. Closer-up, anyway.

Hold the line, Sir Didymous, hold the line!!

Well, there you go. :)

You might inquire with the Dutch Pipe Band Association or post the photo on their facebook page.

It isn't just the kilts that don't square with the Pegasus Pipes and Drums. The drums, hackles, and insignia don't match up either. Unless they've had a massive influx of money and changed their...

Oh. Is Matt in that picture? I only see a lady in black.

I assume this is what you mean for the arms. I am unclear on what is to be which color in your crest.

If you want a coat of arms from Lord Lyon, you need to prove male-line decent to someone in Scotland or lands held by the British Empire (e.g. the American colonies prior to 1776). Mom's dad's family...

I really like the new jacket, Kyle. Very smart!

My brother Carlton (CarolinaTartan) will be there somewhere. I couldn't get it together to come down. Next year!

As I'm sure you are aware, there are a wide variety of roosters, so you need to decide what colors you want it to be. Also, in heraldry, a rooster is more commonly called a cock. And a liberty pole...

I believe it's supposed to look like this:

I think I'd say...

Per bend indented Or and Sable masoned Or, in sinister chief a boar's head erased Gules pierced by an arrow bendwise point upwards Brûnatre, the point Sable and fletching Vert....

A crude rendering, but you get the idea.

I think it's simply because they didn't invest in a) two cap badges of their crest, one with feathers and one without, or b) the type of badge that has removable metal feathers.

For your crest why not have a rooster standing on an anvil and holding a liberty pole (that extends all the way to the torse). If I have time I'll try to sketch it out.


I drew it in Adobe...

Or rather than per fess embattled, you might try per bend indented Or and Sable masoned Or, thus implying that you are building a wall (i.e. Walling).

Thought some of you might find this interesting. More photos on the site.

You might try per fess embattled rather than per bend embattled or you may inadvertently imply that your wall is falling.
