Scottish Douglas Clan's Castle Christmas Keepsake Ceramic Ornament
Members of the Douglas Scottish Clan can enjoy a rare viewing of their ancient home in the Lowlands of Scotland. "Afternoon at Douglas Castle" is the name of the painting depicting the seat of the powerful Douglas family in former glory. The ancient Lowland clan was one of the most powerful in Scotland, and its chiefs were often very political -- sometimes as friends of the country's rulers, including Robert the Bruce, or losing lands and titles in times of distance from the rulers, such as for participating in the death of Lord Darnley, husband of Mary Queen of Scots. Enjoy your association with this intriguing family by owning your own version of the family home, or clan seat, that was located near the town of Douglas in Lanarkshire. While the artist of the painting appears unknown, we are enjoying it because of a photo By Pinoldy https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Creative Commons 2.0 It has been modified for resolution, size, shape, contrast, color and the addition of text. On the ornament back is a brief history of the clan and castle. We've used a gold color type for the clan and castle names on the front and the history on the back. The design fits most of the shapes available. Naturally, if you choose a metal-backed ornament, there's no where for the history to print. Hope you enjoy this keepsake Christmas tree ornament featuring your ancient Douglas Scottish Clan's castle home.
