A lone Jacobite

 No, he's not Bonnie, Prince or Charlie (they are sheepdogs). This highlander goes by the name of Willie Doo.








The figures is by Crann Tara and is a test paint for a commission for a good friend.

First time I've done a tartan other than the Government sett.

Many more will follow, a Jacobite Rising indeed.

Apologies for the poor lighting; a Scottish summer.

    An excellent pun name. Is there an accompanying (clean or otherwise) Ballad Of Willie Doo by Rabbie Burns?
