Jilly Bean's Snaps

This year marks the 600th Anniversary of the Battle of Harlaw, one of the bloodiest battles fought on Scottish soil. This inter-clan battle was so bloody in fact it was known as 'Reid Harlaw'.

The men of Aberdeen & Shire defended the city against the Highlander marauders and, whilst there was no decisive winner, it was declared a strategic win for the Earl of Mar who saved Aberdeen.

Andy's been a busy boy helping to paint figures for a scale model recreation of the battle which will be on display in the Aberdeen Art Gallery.

It's not everyday your handiwork goes on display in the Art Gallery!

Thanks very much to everyone who commented on my 200th Blip - I even made the spotlight page which was a very exciting first for me!
