Hearty congratulations to two of the English heralds being appointed to new offices. I have very fond memories of working with them, particularly going through plans in the week of Operation Unicorn. (And now pleased to have been asked to create this artwork to celebrate them)
The Melbourne Club Victoria held a Celebratory Dinner for Scottish Heraldry on the 25th July in honour of the Lord Lyon's visit to Melbourne . Around 140 sat down to dinner and the Haggis was duly addressed. The unfurling of a new Saltire began the Dinner.
Lovely to catch up with Fiona and colleagues on the @HSCPshire stand at #NewDeerShow recently. #TeamShire are out & about all summer visiting community events to promote health and well-being as well as career opportunities. Do stop and have a chat with them.
It was wonderful recently to join the celebrations, see progress made on restoration and redevelopment at @AdenCountryPark and meet some of the people and partner organisations who are making it happen. More can be read here: https://t.co/Xcv4ri5z3V
24th July is the anniversary of the battle of Harlaw, one of the bloodiest battles in Aberdeenshire and Scottish history. A great video by @VFummey explains the causes of ‘Bludie Harlaw’ https://t.co/8OeiS1SRHF

@BordersRayLD@FlagInstitute It was, along with Banffshire and Moray, all flown for the first time for Historic County Day. I believe that is an older photo.

I saw the new flag of Moray in the wild for the first time yesterday. It was flying at a residential property, it was a strong wind, and it looked rather fabulous in the breeze. Sadly I was driving, so I didn’t manage to get a photo. 😭 #Moray#ScottishcountyFlags#Flags
