Post Your Granted, Assumed or Desired Arms

[Cygnus]

Something that just occurred to me; is the bordure around your arms a distinction indicative of cadency?

It is - on the first page I give my descent back to my most recent Scottish ancestor that bears the same surname as me.

First son (no difference)
Fifth son (castellated chevron)
