Greet family and friends this holiday season with a photo of your ancient Lyon Clan home: Glamis Castle in Angus, Scotland. The card features the photo set in the blue tartan plaid of the powerful Lyon Scottish Clan. The Lyon family has resided at Glamis Castle since the 14th century, though the present building dates largely from the 17th century. Glamis was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, wife of King George VI. The castle was used by William Shakespeare in his play “MacBeth” but with considerable “poetic license.” This photo is courtesy of Nick Bramhall, who has shared it with a creative commons 2.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ It has been modified for color, contrast, size, resolution and the addition of text. The tartan for the Lyon Clan is under a Crown Copyright courtesy of The Scottish Register of Tartans. The front of the card gives a nod to Christmas with a bunch of watercolor holly leaves and berries, which repeat inside above a brief family/castle history. We have included the attribution in our history, but you are allowed to edit the historical part -- and ANY area of the card -- as you please. Below, in contrasting red fonts, are a holiday greeting and your "signature." Again, keep and use what you like or edit and rewrite to make it your own. Delete the "signature" if you prefer to personally sign all your Scottish Lyon Clan - Glamis Castle Christmas Cards for loved ones.
