The Unicorn of Scotland

Inverness
The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn. You will find it everywhere you go, from palace gates, to crowns, to carved stone. This mythical animal represents a wild creature from legend that could never be caught or tamed. A beast that would rather run free. Perhaps a self-portrait of the spirit of the Scottish people. Strong, proud, brave, perhaps wild, coupled with just a bit of whimsy.
