The unicorn is the official national animal of Scotland even though it is a mythological creature. Stories of unicorns date back many centuries in the cultures of the classical age including the Babylonians and the Indus civilisation.
The Scottish King James ll loved the legend, and the unicorn became the symbol of the purity and nobility identified with in 15th Century Scotland.
Over time this led to the unicorn becoming officially recognised as Scotland's national animal.
More recently unicorns have featured in JK Rowlings 'Harry Potter' books where their blood is supposed to give Voldemort a renewed vigour to create more mayhem.
There is a Scottish saying, 'Unicorns for everyone' which is similar to the sentiment behind that other well used saying 'the magic money tree'.

Full description
This linoprint features the two unicorns above the gatehouse of Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. As you enter you see a relief sculpture of these unicorns surrounded by other emblems of Scotland including the national flower the thistle.
This print is printed on beautiful Ho-Sho chinese paper and I use caligo oil based, safe wash inks made by Cranfield in Wales. Each print is hand printed and they are numbered and signed in an edition of 50 prints. The paper size 33 x 26.3 cm.
A framed version in the photographs gives an idea of finished presentation but neither a mount or frame are included in the price.
Prints will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and card backed for protection and then sent in a card backed envelope.
