strathspey Archive: Scottish Clipart

Hi all,

I seem to remember a while ago someone recommended a web site or web
sites for Scottish clip-art. Can anyone remember what and where?
Can anyone recommend any other sites? I've had a request from
Allistair Brennan:

Although I have searched far and wide I have never found a site with a nice
selection of Scottish clip-art - particularly Scottish country dancing. As
an alternative I have visited every RSCDS site I could find and have
"borrowed" everything I could find at each site. Most sites have a list of
links to other sites so you can accumulate a small collection with a bit of
surfing in that manner.

There is a 2 CD set of Celtic Clip Art available as well as CD's with Celtic
and other types of Fonts available. I got them from a site called
"Galeforce." Picked up some at the local Celtic Festival may here in Atlanta
from a vendor.

Don't know if this is what you had in mind but try:
http://www.aon-celtic.com/cfreewareclipart.html

A little advice:

If you access it, you can go make yourself a sandwich and a cup of
coffee. It *may* have finished loading by the time you get back.

Best,

Dover has a nice book of Celtic knots, which comes with a CD of all of the
designs, most of which are square or button-shaped (no borders). ISBN
0-486-99940-8; it is $10 US.

I didn't realize until recently that MSWord 97 has a celtic knotwork border
included in its "art" selections for page borders. (format...borders and
shading...page borders...art).

Nice clip-art but no dancers. I find it interesting that when almost anyone
has Celtic clip-art, it is knot work or fonts -- but no people.

The two CD's I picked up had Clip Art that had Highland and Country Dancers
(limited) and also artwork usable at games for supporting clan tents etc.

IThe CD we got is titled "The Celtic Collection Vol 2" from Highlander
Graphics Software for PC and Mac. It contains Castles, Abbeys, Bagpipes,
Fonts, Dancers etc.

The web site listed in the documentation is www.highlandersoftware.com with
an email address of highland@wco.com
