A Celebration of Scottish Heraldry

[Sketraw]

In anticipation of the 340th anniversary of the Lyon King of Arms Act 1672 The Armorial Register Limited, publishers of Burke’s Peerage & Gentry International Register of Arms, is inviting the submission of digital photographic material for the publication of a fully illustrated prestigious book A Celebration of Scottish Heraldry dedicated to the many practical ways in which Scottish Armigers of today enjoy and demonstrate their personal armorial bearings.

Whilst this book will be an armorial, it is not just an armorial; its main purpose is to illustrate practical usage of Scots Armory in the 21st century. If your arms are recorded in the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland you are invited to submit photographs, along with as much detail as you wish, of any armorial item you have made use of be it your Letters Patent, library painting, crest badge, seal matrix, flag, cutlery, dirks, sporrans, engraved items ……… As a bare minimum we would request that you illustrate your entry with an original grant of arms or matriculation document (we would be happy to blank out addresses etc if you so wish). From our own collections we have put together a number of examples which we feel would be of interest to enthusiasts throughout the world and which would also benefit your favoured heraldic artists and craftsmen.

Participation in this project is FREE (although obviously there will be a cost associated with the purchase of the actual book if participants wish to acquire one). Romilly Squire of Rubislaw, co-author of Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia, is assisting us in the project.
