"A most unusual portrait of King William the Lion hangs at Trinity Hall in Aberdeen, the home of the Seven Incorporated Trades. How the portrait came into the possession of the Trades is disputed leading to a two year investigation into the myths surrounding this striking painting by an unknown artist. The book also asks the following questions: Did King William have a"palace" in Aberdeen... The book also shows how King William, the Trinitarians and the Seven Incorporated Trades are interlinked. A fascinating story that links royalty, religion and the artisan, providing alternative answers to some of the myths that permeate the history of the Seven Incorporated Trades and Aberdeen itself"
