Lion Rampant

Lion Rampant

Lion Rampant engraved into the wall of Torosay Castle, Mull.

The symbol of a lion has been used as a heraldic device for many centuries by Scottish Kings. William I of Scotland (1165 -1214 ) was known as ‘The Lion’ after he introduced the lion symbol into his coat of arms. The Scottish lion has always been shown, on the royal shield, as being Rampant, ie: shown standing erect on the hind legs with the head in profile and forelegs extended.

Taken with canon 450D & Tamron 70-300mm Lens
