Golden Boot
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>Grantown Museum<\/b><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Shops often traditionally used symbols to identify their trade, especially on busy streets where there was little space to advertise with large signboards. In this case, the golden boot signified a shoe shop. Symbol signs also made it easy to identify different traders for people who could not read. <\/p>\n

This wooden painted boot used to hang outside Peter Grant’s shoe shop on the High Street, Grantown. <\/p>\n

The golden boot is one of the oldest motifs and was used around the world. Modern versions of trade signs are still found on our streets: think of the striped barber pole or the cross symbol for a chemist or pharmacy.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipl_image_magnifier image=”https:\/\/museumofthehighlands.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016.013-Golden-Boot-sign-from-Peter-Grants-shoe-shop-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipl_image_magnifier][dipl_text_animator animated_text=”Roll Over The Image To Zoom In” animation_time=”2180ms” animation_hold=”5980ms” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_text_settings_font=”Comfortaa||||||||” global_text_settings_text_align=”center” global_text_settings_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”-9px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dipl_text_animator][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” border_radii=”on|9px|9px|9px|9px” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#000000″ border_style_all=”dashed” inline_fonts=”Comfortaa” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
