Four people from ‘Scotland in Argentina’ spent a good evening producing these letters sent to us by their secretary Monica Loreto. Monica said Stephen could fill in the white backgrounds with whatever he thought suitable.
She writes: Lucy Patricio chose an ‘L’ as she associates her name with a region of the Lowlands.
Norberto Lassalle chose an ‘E’ for Edinburgh, as he hopes to visit Scotland in the near future.
Mary Burich chose the ‘A’ for no particular reason, except that she tried to simulate the drawings introduced to this country by the Italian Community known as “Fileteado”. The fileteado was born in the cart factories of our city in the early twentieth century. It was a decorative activity spontaneously developed by the masters of this craft, until it gradually turned into a pictorial genre. It was also used on trucks and public transport until the 70s, when it began to have a widespread use.
Monica Loreto chose the ‘D’ for “Dalriada” as a symbol of the area where part of the Scottish nation was born and also the name of their Scottish Country Dance Exhibition Group.
