Three cats of vaguely Scottish ancestry have packed their bagpipes,
golf clubs and haggis for an outing. The bottle
in the center of the boat is a favorite tipple of David Lawrence's:
a single malt calle hidden in the box of provisions
which also holds other Scottish delicacies: a few trout, a jar of Duerr’s
marmalade and several Tunnock’s
teacakes (a confection much loved by the Lawrence children). The boat’s
name – Argo – comes from the
Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts, and was suggested by four-year-old
Katie Lawrence. “Nessy was
here” scrawled on the base of the boat refers to a visit made by Rose’s
cousin Nessy during the summer holidays.
On the interior is the true inhabitant of the Loch – Nessie the Loch
Ness Monster. Signed and numbered by the artist.
