Our indefatigable interim Honorary secretary, Stanley Bird, has produced some more nuggets from the HSS Archive - this time in the form of the designs by J R Sutherland for some of the stall-plates in Thistle Chapel.
According to our President Emeritus Charles Burnett's book "Officers of Arms in Scotland", John Robert Sutherland (1872-1933) was a Shetlander, assistant Herald Painter, and indeed the designer not only of the windows and carved heraldry in the Thistle Chapel but also of all of the heraldry in the Scottish National War Memorial.
Larger pictures can be seen in the Archive Gallery HERE.
