Here's a perfect example of the Lyon Court in action.

"... The court charges about £900 to register a shield and more than £1,300 for the addition of a crest. ..."

Only if he's between bankruptcies.

Man.....It must be nice being an arrogant bastard!

I note with interest that three of the five replies to the original posting seem to be mean spirited rants simply because Mr. Trump is wealthy. Actually Mr. Trump has never been bankrupt, nor is he arrogant, nor was he born out of wedlock.

At issue is the fact that the PR and marketing firm representing one of Mr. Trump's real estate developments, in Scotland, was unaware that the use of coats-of-arms by any individual or entity is regulated by law in Scotland.

Once Mr. Trump's company was made aware of this fact they contacted the Court of the Lord Lyon to request a grant of arms (presumably to be based on the design of the logotype currently in use). As, at the present moment, the office of the Lord Lyon is vacant the Lyon Clerk has referred the matter to the Procurator Fiscal who will determine if an offense has occurred. Far from being an earth shaking "crime" this legal oversight is a regular occurrence. It most often happens when an English firm opens offices in Scotland and displays arms which are not recorded in the office of the Lord Lyon.

Yes, if they grant him Arms that is ....... that is only the basic price and doesnt include additional artwork. Not that the price will concern him to much!!

IMHO that Aberdeenshire Council did the right thing in turning down his planning application.....He thinks he can rough shot over anyone and build where he wants even on top on the Menie Estate, which is actually a Nature Reserve at Balmedie ..he conveniently forgets to tell people its a nature reserve ...I hope the Scottish Government does not overrule the Local Council.

Well I think you need to check your information. Perhaps Mr. Trump has never been personally bankrupt but his business has been at least twice that I can think of.

Not arrogant?!?!?!

He needs to be evicted from all of the UK and NEVER allowed back. Now if we could just do that to him here in the US.
