Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland
- Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland
The Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland was established by Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1672. The register is held at the Court of the Lord Lyon and contains every grant of arms since that date. The Register begins with the arms of the Lyon Office, followed by the personal achievement of Sir Charles Erskine, Bt, who was Lord Lyon King of Arms at the time. It now consists of over eighty volumes of parchment, and is illustrated by a succession of the most prominent heraldic artists working in Scotland. As a public register, it can be seen by anyone on application, and on payment of a statutory fee.
