Lora, a captivating muse of Scottish lore, is often associated with the enchanting Falls of Connel and the Ossians Falls of Lora, immortalized in an 1895 engraving. The quaint Village and Park of Baire, also from the same era, hold tales intertwined with local folklore. In the 1920s, her allure extended to the stage, with Collins Music Hall in London featuring a poster of Renee and Lora. Yet, Lora's enigma transcends myth and art, as seen in the intriguing Parrot snakes (Leptophis ahaetulla), named after her in the 19th century, with their vibrant scales reminiscent of the Whitebeam tree's (Sorbus aria) cornucopia of abundance. The Parrot snakes, depicted in captivating images C013 / 9808 and C013 / 9809, continue to mystify and inspire, just as Lora herself has done for centuries.
