The Honours of Scotland consist of the crown, the sword and the sceptre. They were retained in Scotland as part of the Act of Union when Scotland, England and Wales formed the United Kingdom. They are on display at Edinburgh Castle.

The crown was made in this form for King James V in 1540 using gold melted down from the previous Crown.

While there's leaves in the forest
and foam on the river,
McGregors despite them
shall flourish forever.

	To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love.
