Beautiful!

Apparently the mechanics of a belt buckle goes back a lot farther than I would have guessed.

Interesting that the basic design hasn't changed in 800 years. I guess if it works, don't fix it.

A padlock too? I thought those were a relatively new invention (century wise anyway).

Just goes to prove my theory that modern professional wrestling is based on the Medieval morality play.

When you get it right, leave it alone . . . I guess.

Another reason to visit the beautiful city of Perth - the Black Watch Museum at Balhousie Castle is reason enough.
