Traditional Scotish Font

Hi guys,

I am getting my clan script tattooed on me (Dulcius ex Asperis - Ferguson Clan) but would like to try track down some traditional font to do it in.

I have been struggling to find this and do not know where to look, so I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction??

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Ben

and if you don't find a traditional Scottish font , one of these Celtic fonts might fit the bill.

Is the crest not a bee on a thistle?

Ben ,
this may explain why you cannot find a traditional Scottish font
Quote:
The older Gaelic (uncial) script or "corr litir" has not been used for several centuries in Scotland, and has never been used in printed Gaelic. The uncial script is still used in Ireland on road signs and public notices.
Scottish Gaelic language, alphabet and pronunciation
I see that the latest Ferguson crest badges are done in a Roman font .
Dunno what was used in the past.
