Hi,
been looking at all the pics and it looks a beautiful place to be.  One of those pics looks to be of a mosaic, on a ceiling, but made out of pine cones?
Does anyone know what this is, who made it, where it is etc, as i'd love to know.

Many thanks if you can help.

                                                                                                                                                                             

PB its in the bavarian summer house at Brodick Castle - it is indeed made out of pine cones/acorns and seeds of all sorts. the ceiling and walls are decorated with them and they are glued in place. im sure if you google it you can find out much more.                                                                                                                                                                             

Kwakgirl, my thanks - off to look it up now.

Many challenges for us 125 learners from Kendal but we did it, not so sure I'd do a trip like that again on a 125 but hey ho you never know !!!!

I love Arran and would love to go back soon.
