About this deal

If we asked you ‘what’s Scotland’s national animal?’, you might ponder between a couple of our iconic wildlife species. You probably wouldn’t think of a magical horned creature typically seen on children’s lunchboxes! Today in Scotland, the unicorn has left an imprint on the country, whether it is found at the gatepost of Holyroodhouse or standing proudly in front of St Margaret’s Chapel at Edinburgh Castle. The unicorn is depicted across the country, carved in stone at St Andrews University and used as a figurehead for the HM Frigate Unicorn in Dundee. By the fifteenth century, during the reign of King James III, coins depicting the unicorn had also appeared and would be in circulation for another century.

But the company of one of Scotland’s leading tour guides was as good a place to start as any. A secular interpretation of the hanging could see the gold chain tying the unicorn to a tree as a symbol of true love, as poets from the Middle Ages often used the chain to symbolize a lover’s devotion to his lady. If the tapestries were made to commemorate a marriage, the garden’s plants and trees echo this theme: The unicorn rests below a pomegranate tree, whose fruit, covered in seeds, was regarded as a symbol for fertility.

According to the National Museum of Scotland, medieval legend further suggests only a king could hold a unicorn captive because of the supposed danger it posed, something that may have given rise to its widespread adoption. What is known is James II wholeheartedly embraced the legend, and the unicorn became the symbol of purity and power that Scottish kings and nobility identified with in the 15th Century. Over time, this led to the unicorn becoming officially recognised as Scotland’s national animal. Until recently, all talk of unicorns belonged in the glitteriest corner of a children’s playroom. Or on a rainbow-coloured cereal box. It’s a subject rarely cerebral enough to merit debate, but these days, wide-eyed unicorns are everywhere. Many hidden object games come with dark scenes where you have a flashlight in the form of a circle. So all you can see appears in the circle. Mystery of Unicorn Castle offers a better way of doing dark scenes. It starts with a circle until you find candles and matches. Put the candles in the candleholders and light those with the matches for a view easier on the eyes.Questions about the original workmanship of the tapestries remain unanswered. The design of the tapestries is rich in figurative elements similar to those found in oil painting. Apparently influenced by the French style, [5] the elements in the tapestries reflect the woodcuts and metalcuts made in Paris in the late fifteenth century. [6] The tapestries were very probably woven in Brussels, [10] which was an important center of the tapestry industry in medieval Europe. [11] An example of the remarkable work of the Brussels looms, the tapestries' mixture of silk and metallic thread with wool gave them a fine quality and brilliant color. [12] The wool was widely produced in the rural areas around Brussels, and a common primary material in tapestry weaving. The silk, however, was costly and hard to obtain, indicating the wealth and social status of the tapestry owner.
