Feast of St Giles

 Today is the Feast of St Giles, Patron Saint of Edinburgh. To mark this, here are the arms of the Convenery of the Incorporated Trades of Edinburgh which display the beloved doe (sometimes described as a hind) of St Giles as a supporter.




The painting is by Yvonne Holton, Herald Painter and Dingwall Pursuivant.
