Heraldry sub-forum

There is now a new Heraldry sub-forum located here, under Kilt Accessories.

We've been seeing several questions and comments about heraldry, clan badges, coats-of-arms and the like, so Cajunscot thought perhaps it was time to give those posts a permanent home.

It's an interesting subject to study and this will, hopefully, allow all of us to learn a bit more.

Wonderful idea, and thank you for incorporating it into the forum board. I don't pretend to be another Sir Iain Moncrieff, however I do have a number of excellent, authoritative (and very near exhaustive!) works on the subject, including several published by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, and would be more than happy to look up any inquiries on the subject should the need arise. Cheers.
Michael.

I bet we have quite a few duplicate titles in our libraries then!

Cheers,

How about an X marks College of Arms? It would be fun to be able to either invent a bit of heraldry, or adapt something already in existance. If the coat of arms were to be "differenced" with an X mark [a saltire canton?] it shouldn't offend anyone whose arms it resembles.
Hmm....the mind reels....

new forum area...

Fellas,

This is an old thread; we now have a new area specifically devoted to tartans and heraldry.

Regards,

Todd

Dandy!
Good to have a friendly forum for some heraldry Q&A.
I've been doing some heraldic work for a while,
mostly for the Union of Hereditary Commanders and Knights of the Order of St John.
Cheers, ColMac
