Released in 2004, the wonderfully detailed scene finds three cats of vaguely Scottish ancestry setting out in the \u003cem\u003eArgo\u003c\/em\u003e with their bagpipes, golf clubs, haggis and provisions.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details reward a closer look. A bottle of David Lawrence's favored single malt, \"Sheep Dip,\" bears the number \u003cstrong\u003e120\u003c\/strong\u003e, marking this as the 120th piece he carved for Harmony Kingdom. An acorn is hidden among provisions that include trout, Duerr's marmalade and Tunnock's teacakes. Four-year-old Katie Lawrence suggested the boat's name \u003cem\u003eArgo\u003c\/em\u003e, after Jason and the Argonauts, while \"Nessy was here\" refers to a visit from a Lawrence family cousin.
