We are proud to welcome the Society of Scottish Armigers AGM to our Highland Games.

Captain Robert Jeffrey Urquhart, FSA Scot.

An Armiger is a member of the Armorial Noblesse of Scotland, an embodiment of the living survival of the old medieval realm. Armigers perpetuate the organization, traditions and concepts of the old clan or family organization of the kingdom. As such they are of immense interest and value to those of Scottish descent in America, especially at all Scottish games, gatherings and social events, where their use of heraldry maintains tradition - pride in, and loyalty to the family, and to the chief, who represents the family.

Every Fellow and member of the Society of Scottish Armigers has been recognized by Lyon Court in Scotland and has been granted “Ensigns Armorial”, their individual “monomark” or coat of arms. The Scottish system of armorial differencing distinguish chief, chieftains, and cadets of each such noble and organized name on scientific lines in order to give practical identification to the various lines of the family and to prevent cadets from assuming arms inconsistent with their actual position in the family tree. This splendid scientific system of individual differencing has been carried on in Scotland from the Middle Ages to the present time. The basic or undifferenced arms and crest, are the property, not of the "family" but of the "Chief".
