Gallus

‘Gallus’ is print #2 in a quirky collection by the artist Cat Lawson. The Thistle Kingdom Collection brings Scottish words to life in the form of unique and characterful thistles. This charming print is a reproduction taken from an original hand crafted painting produced using a cross-hatch ink drawing technique and watercolour.

What does ‘gallus’ mean?

Gallus’ is a Scottish term for a self-confident, daring or reckless person. You might hear “he’s pure gallus, by the way” as an expression of admiration. It was originally a derogatory term, meaning a wild rascal; someone deserving to be hanged (fit for the gallows).
