Mermaid Crest

[Beertigger]

You need one of these:



"The Sheillah was worn on the kepis of the men of the Fighting 69th and the Irish Brigade during the Civil War."

You can find them here.

They're a bit weighty, but not too bad. Mine definitely holds down my apron. Except when curious teenagers in Glasgow Central Station swoop in for a lift.

But that's another tale....

Thank you!
Were you the first to post that item a few months ago?
I do have one and yes it's a little heavy but I love it.

I wasn't the first, don't recall who brought 'em up originally, but I did rush in my order not long after she first surfaced here.

One of these days I'll find a nice weathered brass buckle to compliment it.

I'm sooo jealous!

How could a seafaring clan like the Macdonalds chose a fish for their shield over a mermaid?

Probably too cold for mermaids in the waters off Skye.

Grumble grumble...

The "fish" in the M'Donald arms is a salmon, revered as sacred in ancient times and representing knowledge. So now you know.
