Featuring a charming King Charles Spaniel, the Glamis Dog replicates one of many animals featured on a set of 17th Century bed hangings at Glamis Castle.
Stitched by Lady Helen Middleton (wife of the 3rd Earl of Strathmore) and her daughters, the original embroideries now hang in King Malcolm's Room within the castle.
