    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.

    It May Look Fishy, But

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