The Court of the Lord Lyon

Scotland’s Heraldic Authority -= Originally the duties of the Heralds did not relate to armory or the control of the use of Arms in Scotland. The duties of the Lord Lyon and the other Heralds were more ambassadorial in nature and these functions remain, although much changed, in the ceremonial duties undertaken today. The Officers of the Court are the Lord Lyon King of Arms and the Lyon Clerk and Keeper of the Records, both appointed by the Sovereign on the recommendation of the First Minister. There is also the Lyon Macer who appears on judicial occasions bearing the mace of the Court. The organisation of the office of the Lord Lyon is regulated by a number of Acts of Parliament, the most important being an Act of 1672 which established the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland and an Act of 1867 which made alterations to the regulation of the Office. The relevant statutes can all be found in the Documents section of this website

By improving understanding, and avoiding misunderstanding, we hope to play our small part in strengthening the important ties which bind Scots of the Diaspora to the land of our ancestors. To publish and disseminate an historical record of said Armorial Bearings along with biographical information regarding the Armigers. To educate the public regarding the history and meaning of Armorial Bearings within the Scottish tradition.
