Outlaw King Archives - Mini Kilt Tours

Outlaw King Premire, Edinburgh

On October 19, 2019 Mini Kilt Tours (left) and Edinburgh Tour Guides (right) went to the premiere of Outlaw King. Unfortunately, we didn’t get an actual ticket to get inside, but we stood outside and some of the actors kindly came over and stopped to sign autographs and get pics. Here are the collection of pics I took.

Here is the new trailer for Outlaw King, released on Netflix on November 9. Can’t wait to see it.

This beautiful bowl, the Bute Mazer, is found in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.

The Bute Mazer was made just after Robert the Bruce’s victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Bruce is represented by the lion, in the centre, a symbol of power. The shields surrounding the lion are those of his supporters. The shield between the lion’s paws is Walter the Steward, Bruce’s son-in-law. Walter brought the name Stewart in to the royal line, his son, Robert II, was the first Stewart king.

Made as a communal drinking cup to be shared with friends and supporters, it is made from maple wood and the lion is silver. The silver rim around the edge was a later add on, in the 16th century.
