Berwickshire
Berwickshire (; ) is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area in south-eastern Scotland, on the English border. The county takes its name from Berwick-upon-Tweed, its original county town, which was part of Scotland at the time of the county's formation in the twelfth century, but became part of England in 1482 after several centuries of swapping back and forth between the two kingdoms. After the loss of Berwick, Duns and Greenlaw both served as county town at different periods. Berwickshire County Council existed from 1890 until 1975, when the area became part of the Borders region, with most of the historic county becoming part of the lower-tier Berwickshire district. Berwickshire district was abolished in 1996, when all the districts in the Borders region merged to become the Scottish Borders council area. The low-lying part of Berwickshire between the Tweed and the Lammermuirs is known as "the Merse", from an old Scots word for a floodplain, and ...

Racing Flags
Racing flags are traditionally used in auto racing and similar motorsports to indicate track conditions and to communicate important messages to drivers. Typically, the starter, sometimes the Grand Marshal, grand marshal of a race, waves the flags atop a flag stand near the start-finish line. Track marshals are also stationed at observation posts along the race track in order to communicate both local and course-wide conditions to drivers. Alternatively, some race tracks employ lights to supplement the primary flag at the start-finish line. Summary While there is no universal system of racing flags across all of motorsports, most series have standardized them, with some flags carrying over between series. For example, the chequered flag is commonly used across all of motorsport to signify the end of a session (practice, qualifying, or race), while the penalty flags differ from series to series. Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, FIA-sanctioned championship flags are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Border Tartan
Border tartan, sometimes known as Borders tartan, Northumbrian tartan, Northumberland tartan, shepherds' plaid, shepherds' check, Border drab, or Border check, is a design used in woven fabrics historically associated with the Anglo-Scottish Border, particularly with the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Possibly the most identifiable Border tartan garment of the region is the maud, made popular from the 1820s by fashionable Border Scots such as Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg, Henry Scott Riddell and Robert Burns. The modern Border tartan is a crossweave of small dark and light checks, much plainer than the more elaborate Scottish tartans. Traditionally, the yarn for the light squares was simply untreated sheep's wool and the darker yarn was the same wool dyed with simple vegetable dyes, such as alder bark or water flag, or the untreated wool of a black sheep.

The specific name, ''berus'', is Neo-Latin and was at one time used to refer to a snake, possibly the gras ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pall (heraldry)
A pall (or pairle) in heraldry and vexillology is a Y-shaped charge (heraldry), charge, normally having its arms in the three corners of the shield. An example of a pall placed horizontally (fesswise) is the green portion of the Flag of South Africa, South African national flag. A pall that stops short of the shield's edges and that has pointed ends to its three limbs is called a shakefork, although some heraldic sources do not make a distinction between a pall and a shakefork. A pall standing upside down is named ''pall reversed''. An ecclesiastical pall on a shield, or pallium, is the heraldic indicator of archbishoprics. These palls usually have a lower limb that stops short of the bottom of the shield with a fringe. Palls can also be modified with Line (heraldry), heraldic lines. One example is the coat of Saint-Wandrille-Rançon. Gallery File:Earl of Glencairn arms.svg, Arms of the Earl of Glencairn, chief of Clan Cunningham: ''Argent, a shakefork sable'' File:Angl-Cante ...
