Scottish Borders Armstrong Clan Gilnockie Castle Tote Bag

The ferocious Armstrong Clan of the Anglo-Scottish Border is associated with two family properties dating from the early 1500s - Mangerton and Gilnockie in Dumfries and Galloway of southwest Scotland. Both have fallen to ruins with only Gilnockie Tower remaining, and that because of a 1978 renovation. Gilnockie was the home of a famous outlaw Border Reiver Johnnie Armstrong. The image here is a painting "Gilnockie Tower in 1530, Dumfriesshire," by Henry Hetherington Emmerson (1831-1895). An oval photo of the Emmerson painting is framed with a deep blue band. In tiny print at the bottom is identification info for the photo -- keep or remove it as you select the options. If your branch of the family spells the name differently, why not hit "personalize" and spell Armstrong however your branch does. "Armstrong Clan" is printed in a bold, all-caps font, and "Gilnockie Tower" in a smaller, but less bold, variety of the font family. The painting title and artist credit are in an unobtrusive font at the design's bottom. All text matches the oval photo frame. Bring your ancient Armstrong Scottish family heritage into the modern world with pieces featuring your family's heritage in a painting of the long ago Gilnockie castle tower.
