“To mark St Andrews day, Google asked me to create a very special Google Doodle that celebrates all things Scottish, so I picked up my pens and pencils and created this for them.”
She even shared her daughter’s delight at the use of her favourite creature, the unicorn.
The official description from Google for the image is: “A procession of beloved Scottish symbols, each with a special link to the country’s rich heritage and mythology ★★ St Andrew’s Day Ball London ★★
“Wreathed in the prickly-leaved purple thistle, the unicorn (Scotland’s national animal) leads the parade, symbolizing innocence, purity, power, and joy.

“Trailing her is a majestic red deer, Scotland’s largest native land mammal, exploring the country’s much-celebrated bluebell woods.”
