My grandparents had a garden ornament which doubled as a seat for one. I was terrified of the stone dog which was crouching in the dusk of the garden - my grandmother walked me down to it slowly until I could see it didn't actually look like a stone dog at all. It is actually a small lump of Lincoln Cathedral, probably left over from a restoration project in the early 1900's. These designs from my Katkins Collection are two different treatments of the original Stone Dog - one is a stylised shading, the other a line drawing to emphasise the carving. The SDDS logo is a reworking of several ancient Pictish rock carvings, probably depicting wolves.
Pictish art is native to Scotland.
A series of designs based on the rock carvings is planned - please get in touch if you would like further details. The Pictish Arts Society is devoted to the study and appreciation of Pictish Art.
