Based on feedback from the AllMacfarlanes site, we arranged for artist Deborah L. McFarlin to  create a demi-savage stylistically consistent with the arms we selected earlier and with characteristics of The Macfarlane Battle Standard savage. (Sister/Aunt) Deborah has a fine arts degree and a Master's degree in Visual Information Technology and is an award-winning watercolorist on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Deborah went well beyond this to recreate a digital version of the full arms that will surely be the standard rendition of Andrew's arms hereforward. 

Deborah also collaborated with suggestions on the sign layout and recreated a print-ready version of the sign based on David Connoly's original work after over-a-year of public feedback had been incorporated into the design and content.

We are very grateful to Deborah for all her work!

We are also very grateful to West of Scotland Dry Stone Walling Association for completion of a trial build of the stone plinth for the sign.  John New of WSDSWA and his team are working with Fiona Baker to plan the actual plinth construction on the island this spring.

There are still many details to be attended to, but major progress has been made!   Thanks to all for your contributions and support!
