    Scott/Sporran art

    Not functional for wear, but extremely cool.
    I could see one hanging on my den wall.

    What type of Scottish/Celtic art might be hanging in your home/office?
    Please share.

    Wow! These are fascinating! I may have to attempt making something similar.

    We do have a couple items of décor now that you mention it: a reproduction of the carved bagpiper from the Thistle Chapel in St Giles (Edinburgh) hanging on the wall

    http://www.edinburgh-sherwood.com/StGiles/

    and some reproduction Lewis Chessmen.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_chessmen

    Cheesy I suppose, but we saw the actual Lewis Chessmen in the museum and visited St Giles and they're the sort of knickknacks people on holiday buy.

    Those sporrany things, not my cup of tea. I'm a "form follows function" person, mostly, and I want my sporrans to hold a lot of stuff and not get in the way.

    Oh, you mean Scot art...

    I thought you had an example of the Clan Scott crest or one of the Clan Scott tartans on a sporran...

    (The Scot/Scott thing gets to me sometimes, especially when I'm tired. The former, with one 't', describes something as being Scottish or of Scottish origin. The latter, with two t's, is a family/clan name.)
