1. Title: "Old Cross and Clachnacuddin Stone and Inverness Burgh Arms: A Snapshot of Scottish Heraldry from the Early 1900s" This photograph print, dated circa 1900, showcases two significant heraldic symbols of Inverness, Scotland: the Old Cross and Clachnacuddin Stone, and the Inverness Burgh Arms. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Scotland's heraldic heritage. At the center of the photograph, the Old Cross and Clachnacuddin Stone stand proudly, their ancient stones weathered by time yet still retaining their grandeur. The Old Cross, also known as the "Auld Cross," is a medieval relic believed to date back to the 15th century. It is said that the cross was erected to commemorate the site where St. Duthac, the patron saint of Inverness, performed miracles. The Clachnacuddin Stone, a large, flat, and mysterious stone, is believed to have been used as a place of execution during medieval times. Adjacent to the Old Cross and Clachnacuddin Stone, the Inverness Burgh Arms are displayed on a wooden panel. The arms feature a red shield with a silver saltire, representing St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. Above the shield, there is a silver mural crown, symbolizing the burgh's status as a royal borough. The crest, situated at the top, consists of a silver unicorn, Scotland's national animal, supporting a golden escutcheon bearing the royal arms of Scotland. This photograph print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Scotland's heraldic symbols and the deep-rooted history they represent. It invites us to explore the stories and traditions that have shaped the Scottish identity and continue to captivate us today.
