Picture Clock featuring image of one of Scotland's
most famous castles - Stirling Castle!
This clock features an image of part of Stirling Castle, indeed this part of the castle is a palace that James V
had built as a residence for him and his French Queen, Mary of Guise, when staying there. Work on the palace started around 1538, and the designer was most likely one of the King's French masons. The facade of the
palace features arches that have tall balusters in which are several statues (not readily visible in the photo).
The statues are of James V himself and St Michael, classical Gods and Goddesses, and one of the Devil. The canon in the foreground is one that would typically have been used as part of the defences of the castle, and
there are many other such canons strategically positioned around the castle.
Some of the above text appears on the clock itself.
The body of the unit is in the "block" style with a black surround to the frame. The movements are good
quality quartz battery movements which require an "AA" size battery for power (not supplied). A strut is
provided for desk standing, and there are also hanging slots on the reverse for wall hanging.
Our clocks do not come boxed, but they shall be well wrapped for posting.
Overall clock dimensions are 7.5" x 5.25" x1/2" deep (all sizes approximate).
Please note that due to sublimation printing techniques, there can be slight colour shifts. The whole design is
printed direct onto the specially treated surface of the body of the clock under a heat press leaving a
completely smooth and flat appearance and feel to the clock itself.
Attractively designed gift that is sure to appeal to lovers of Scotland.
An excellent year-round Scottish gift to send abroad.
