Description

The last of my Linlithgow Palace photos. These are the four crests over the front entrance. I searched and Goggled but cannot ID any of them. The left one looks British, the middle two Scottish and the right side looks French. This photo taken May 1995 and scanned. Zoom for a better look. Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

Crests and ensigns are so fascinating; they're also incredibly cryptic. Once, it seemed that everyone knew what they represented and one could virtually read an entire narrative by simply looking at buildings. Now, their meanings are lost, obscured, of hijacked by fashion designers who put them on clothing along with random words like: "Pink" and "Cool" and "Rock-n-Roll" and what-have-you. I much prefer the "old school" stuff to the modern, sartorial text-junk. And I have to say that you've nabbed a wonderful capture here. This is excellent!

wonderful!! I'm with weesel: England, Scotland, Castilla Y Leon, France. The union of the kingdom of Castilla Y Leon with Aragona through the marriage of Isabella I of Castile with Ferdinand II of Aragon formed "Spain". Castilla y Leon crest exibit the chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

What a joyful picture is this. These shields are still in such good condition, though they have not suffered through the years. A great photo, Dana! Thanks for sharing this wonderful castle, and details of it.
