SWRI emblem carved on stone seat
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 29 Dec 2008
This symbol (which is used on the badge of the Scottish Women's Rural Institute), is carved on the back of a stone seat that dates from 1932 (as described at Image). The carving is showing signs of weathering; the lettering is becoming illegible. However, the V-shaped band running across the heart contains the text "FOR HOME & COUNTRY", and the crown has four points, containing the initials S,W,R,I. At the time of writing, the SWRI still uses this symbol on its badge.
