Peacock at Seton Collegiate Church
(© Rosslyn Templars)
The small, walled, area around Seton Collegiate Church is beautifully kept by Historic Scotland. Peacocks, and Peahens, roam free. This one was so tame that it appeared to 'pose' when a camera was produced. They are an entirely appropriate symbol to be found at Seton. In the Middle Ages the flesh of a Peacock was considered to be incorruptible and was, therefore, a symbol of immortality and of Resurrection. To find a living Christian symbol strutting around as if it 'owned the place' served only to emphasize the origins and purpose of this place.
