We are endebted to Caroline, who tells us that her friend's husband makes these statues in his spare time, little realising either their resemblance to DC or the significance of the inscription at the base of the statue (not shown). As luck would have it, one of the dotdotdotcomma team has a degree in ancient languages and was able to translate this text, which reads:
"To the greater glory of David of the clan McCoulthard, who journeyed from the land of the Picts to ply his trade as a charioteer. He was a good competitor - not great, mind you, but good - and, although he was often beaten by the blond, fair-skinned people from the land of the midnight sun, he will always be remembered for his battle-cry: 'This will be my year!'" |
