The Unicorn of Scotland - Kew Gardens:
This Waymark features a stone statue of the Unicorn of Scotland, one of ten Heraldic beasts & creatures, known as the Queen's Beasts. Displayed along the Palm House Terrace in the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew.
"In heraldry the unicorn is best known as the symbol of Scotland. The unicorn was chosen because it was seen as a proud and haughty beast which would rather die than be captured, just as Scots would fight to remain sovereign and unconquered. Two unicorns supported the royal arms of the King of Scots, and since the 1707 union of England and Scotland, the royal arms of the United Kingdom have been supported by a unicorn along with an English lion. Two versions of the royal arms exist: that used in Scotland gives more emphasis to the Scottish elements, placing the unicorn on the left and giving it a crown, whereas the version used in England and elsewhere gives the English elements more prominence."
