Heraldry in Scotland focuses on heraldry as it developed within Scottish society, discussing how it was used for many purposes beyond simply differentiating people in battle and on seals in the early days of its existence. From dynastic struggles to family connections and beyond, the chronicle of Scotland's rich heraldry is explored in great detail in this book. The author goes into important topics such as the evolution of heraldry and the differences in terminology among various traditions. However, the main thrust of the book is the practical and legal development of heraldry in Scotland, including the establishment of the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the position responsible for regulating its proper use in the country. This book goes deep into many topics concerning heraldry and is an excellent and comprehensive resource for those interested in the history, law, and tradition of heraldry, especially as it manifested in Scotland.
