\ INTRODUCTION

VThe present Lyon King of Arms, Sir James Balfour Paul,

V received his appointment in 1890, and next year the Edin-

J^v, burgh Heraldic Exhibition was held under his auspices. It was

Y^ opened on the 6th of July 1901, in the rooms of the Scottish

National Portrait Gallery, and its success was in no small

degree owing to the energy of the Curator, the late Mr.

J. M. Gray, whose previous experience in organising similar

exhibitions was of the greatest value. In going through the

mass of material then brought together for the purpose of

selecting subjects for the illustrated catalogue, it was felt

in addition that the opportunity should not be neglected of

utilising it for the production of a work on Scottish Heraldry

which would contain particulars of all known armorial ensigns

used in Scotland since their first introduction at the end of

the twelfth century to the present time.

A book of this nature, giving the authority for all its
statements, would be of great value to students of the
history of their country and of its families. Nisbet made a
commencement with such a work in the eighteenth century,
which still remains the standard authority on the subject.
The only other available book of reference is Burke''s General
Armory, which, along with English and Irish arms, contains
a certain number of Scottish coats, but it is of little use
when the question of authenticity arises, as no references
are given as to the source of information or as to the date
when the arms were in use.

The principal sources from which material could be
obtained for the compilation of a work such as has been
indicated above, may be classified as follows : —

(1) Seals attached to ancient charters and documents.

vi SCOTTISH ARMORIAL SEALS

(2) Stone carvings on castles, houses, churches, and old

tombstones.

(3) The illuminated heraldic manuscripts of the sixteenth

century prepared by the Lyon Kings of Arms, viz.
by Sir David Lindsay of the Mount in 1542 ; by Sir
Robert Forman in 1558 and again in 1566 ; by Sir
David Lindsay of Rathillet about 1570 ; and finally
by Sir David Lindsay (ii.) of the Mount about 1599.
There is also another beautifully executed armorial,
whose author is unknown, prepared for Robert, Lord
Seton in 1591.^ Most of these manuscripts were
known to Nisbet, but the dates and names he attaches
to them, such as Workman, Esplin, etc., are mislead-
ing, being not those of the author, but of the man
who most prominently inscribed his name and date
on the title-page. To the above must be added a few
Continental armorials of earlier date which contain
Scottish arms, more especially the very fine Armorial
de Gelre, believed to have been executed about the
year 1372 by Nicholas Heynen, ' Gelre heraut
d'Armes,' to the Duke of Gueldres.^

(4) Armorials of the seventeenth century, giving a verbal

blazon of arms. Of these, that attributed to James
Pont, with the date 1624, is probably one of the
earliest and most reliable.

(5) The Lyon Register, commenced in 1672, and which

for arms after that date is the only authority.^ To
this may be added grants of arms made by Kings of
Arms previous to 1672, or others of later date by
mistake omitted from the Register.

^ More details regarding these illuminated MSS. and objects under the other
classes will be found in Lecture vi. of ' Heraldry in relation to Scottish History
and Art,' Rhind Lectures for 1898, by Sir James Balfour Paul, Edinb., 1900,

2 Proceedings, Society of Antiquaries, Scotland, vol. xxv. p. lO.

^ Particulars of all arms contained in it will be found in An Ordinary of Arms
. . . in Scotland, by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lyon, second edition, Edinb.,
1903. Owing to the form of the work the Crests, Mottos, Supporters, and
Genealogies are omitted.

INTRODUCTION vii

(6) Miscellaneous articles bearing arms, such as carved
panels of wood, chairs and other pieces of furniture,
book-bindings, articles of silver, ivory, etc., early
book-plates, portraits and other paintings, etc.

During the time of the Exhibition a large number of
photographs and rubbings were made of exhibits embraced
in the above categories, and, as it might be difficult again
to obtain the use of the series of illuminated mss. (Class 3),
facsimiles were made of the more important of them, together
with a short description of each, including an inquiry into its
authorship and date, and a blazon of the arms it contained.

After that copies from the seventeenth -century verbal
blazon armorials (Class 4) were made, among these being
several variations of Font's ms.

An abbreviated transcript of the Lyon Register (Class 5)
has been made up to date, and also copies of any grants of
arms not contained in it that may have been met with.

The formation of a collection of rubbings from stone carv-
ings (Class 2) has been carried on by the present writer,
with the assistance of Mr. Thomas Ross, joint author of the
Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland and of the
Ecclesiastical Architectwe of Scotland, who has an exhaustive
knowledge of the locality of such remains.

The information obtained from these different sources was
at the same time entered up on cards for easy arrangement
and for comparison, a very important matter hitherto not
sufficiently attended to.

This left only the department of ancient seals (Class 1)
entirely unworked. When, however, it was attempted to
deal with the material already accumulated without the seals,
it was soon found that this was in effect to proceed with
the superstructure without the foundation. For the last few
years, therefore, the writer''s attention has been devoted to
the latter branch of the subject in the two directions of
collecting what had already been published and in adding
to that by the examination of other collections of charters.

viii SCOTTISH ARMORIAL SEALS

Regarding the works already published, the following have

been examined, and cards have been written up containing

particulars of the seals illustrated or described in them : —

(\) An Account of the Seals of the Kings, Royal Boroughs,

and Magnates of Scotland, by Thomas Astle, Keeper

of the Records in the Tower of London, written in

1792, and published in Vetusta Monumenta, vol. iii.,

London, 1796. In it are five plates containing figures

of ninety seals and descriptive letterpress, mainly

historical, though the legends are given.

(2) Ancient Scottish Seals, by Henry Laing, in two volumes,

published in 1850 and 1866. The former contains
twenty-nine plates of seals,^ and the latter fifteen,
besides woodcuts.

(3) Catalogue of Seals in the British Museum, vol. iv., by

W. de G. Birch, in which most of the seals in the
above two volumes by Henry Laing are included along
with those described in a manuscript catalogue left by
him. These, with a very few others, form the entire
collection relating to Scotland. The sizes of the seals
are given, which is a great advantage.^ The legends
are also given in a kind of facsimile, and are, as a rule,
reliable, which is not always the case in the second
volume of Laing. Eleven photographic plates from
casts of seals are given, but these are not of the
actual size.

(4) Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland, edited by

Joseph Bain, F.S.A. Scot,, four volumes, published in
1881, 1884, 1887, and 1888. These contain descrip-
tions of the very extensive collection of early Scottish
seals preserved in the Record Office, London. In vol. ii.

^ Most of these plates had previously appeared in the Bannatyne Club publica-
tions of the Charters of Melrose, Ilolyrood, Glasgow, Kelso, etc.

' On comparing the sizes there given with actual impressions of the seals, they
are frecjuently found to be slightly understated, the result, no doubt, of the
measurements being taken from casts made from matrices, the material used for
which has a tendency to shrink.

INTRODUCTION ix

are five plates containing photographic reproductions
of eighty-six of the most interesting seals.

(5) Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland. In vol. i. are a

number of facsimiles of charters with seals attached
to them, and in vol. ii. there is one such facsimile.

(6) Reports of the Historical Manuscripts Commission,

Throughout the Appendices to these Reports refer-
ence is made to a large number of seals, generally,
however, without a proper description. In any case
observed where the description is sufficient an entry
has been made. The Reports, however, have not
been systematically gone through.

(7) In addition to the seals which appear in the above

works there are a number illustrated in the publi-
cations of the Bannatyne Club and other similar
societies — the Chartukuy of Melrose, for instance, —
also in various genealogical and topographical works,
especially in the elaborate series of family histories
by the late Sir William Fraser. The titles of the
more important of these works will be found on
pp. XV and xvi.
Regarding new matter, the principal collections of seals,
examined were : —

(1) The Laing Charters, bequeathed by David Laing to

the University of Edinburgh, and now preserved in
their Library.

(2) The Charters and other documents in the General

Register House, Edinburgh.

(3) The Swinton Charters, which have now been deposited

in the Register House through the initiative of
Captain George S. C. Swinton, March Pursuivant.

(4) The Coldingham Charters, preserved in the Treasury,

Durham Cathedral.

(5) The Collection of Charters and Detached Seals belong-

ing to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, along
with a collection of casts made by Major-General

X SCOTTISH ARMORIAL SEALS

Hutton, and two volumes by him entitled respectively
Sigilla and Seals, also preserved in their Museum.
These two volumes contain drawings of seals, prin-
cipally ecclesiastical, with notes of the documents
to which they were appended. The drawings made
by the General from actual impressions of the seal
are accurate and well executed, and may be relied
on as giving a true representation of what he had
before him. There are other drawings, however,
from sketches made by others, which are generally
very indiiFerently executed, and cannot be accepted
as accurate without corroborative evidence.

(6) The Collection of Charters and of Detached Seals made

by the late Sir William Eraser.

(7) The Charters of the Burgh of Peebles.

(8) A number of private collections which are indicated in

the references.

The advantage of taking measurements of the seals was
unfortunately not thought of until the Laing Charters, the
Swinton Charters, and the greater part of the Register House
Charters had been gone through.

Photographs of a number of the more interesting seals have
been taken, and now matrices are being made of any where
this has not already been done. Henry Laing made matrices
of all the seals described in his first volume, and of most of
those described in his second volume and in the Supplementary
Manuscript. These are now in the British Museum, but the
casts from them are difficult of access, not being suitably
arranged for reference. However, the Museum authorities are
prepared to supply plaster or sulphur casts to any one on
application, at a small charge.^

In this connection it may be suggested that a collection of
casts in Edinburgh, to which access could be had under proper
restrictions, would be of great benefit to students. The

^ Application for such may be sent to Mr. A. Ready, British Museum,
London.

INTRODUCTION xi

Register House has already a complete set of tliose described
in Laing's first volume, arranged in order, and for a compara-
tively small sum this might be supplemented by obtaining
from the British Museum casts of those described in the second
volume and in the Supplementary Manuscript. If such a
collection were once formed, it might be continually added to
and kept up, as no doubt any one making matrices, or having
them made of seals in his possession, would be pleased to send
casts for deposit in a public institution such as the Kegister
House.

The above indicates briefly what has already been done in
the way of collecting material, but to carry out such a work it
would be necessary to make a thorough examination of all the
■original and authentic sources of information remaining to us.
The carrying out of the complete scheme, and the bringing
together of all the materials collected into one, would neces-
sarily take a long time. This being so, and as the information
in reference to seals so far obtained may quite well stand by
itself, and had been barely touched on by Nisbet, it was con-
sidered desirable that it should be published at once for the
use of students. It was also hoped that the work might make
known what was being done, and thus be the means of inducing
those possessing material to make it known, and allow the use
of it. The work is thus more or less tentative, and primarily
for the use of historical students. The photographs repro-
<Iuced were specially taken for the work by my friend, Mr. B. A.
Barlas.

Coming to the work itself, the entries consist of: —
(1) Owner of seal, with brief particulars of designation,
date, etc., for assistance and information regarding
which I am greatly indebted to the Rev. John Anderson,
of the Historical Department of the Register House.
The entries referring to the same name, however spelt
on the seals or on the documents to which they are
appended, are all entered together under the usual
modern spelling, as, for instance, the name 'Mowat'

xii SCOTTISH ARMORIAL SEALS

is so entered whether it appeared as Monte Alto,
Montalt, or Mowat. In the earlier seals most names
had the prefix ' de,"* but this is of course omitted.

(2) Description of the coat of arms and its adjuncts, to-

gether with the general design of the seal. In the
case of ecclesiastical and equestrian seals the descrip-
tion of the design is not intended to be exhaustive,
but is more for the purpose of identification, the
principal object of the work being the description of
arms.

(3) Legend surrounding seal. No attempt is made to give

these in facsimile, but the general character of the
lettering is indicated. Before the middle of the four-
teenth century this was in Gothic capitals, described in
the text as ' Goth. Caps.' After that it was usually in
Gothic small letters (or lower case), described as 'Goth.
I.e.,' and this continued until the sixteenth century,,
about the middle of which Roman capitals, designed
' Caps.,' came to be much used, and by the end of the
century had almost entirely superseded the Gothic
small letters. Where the type of the legends has not
been verified the description of the letters is omitted,
but the legend is printed in the character of type most
probably employed.

(4) Size of seal. This information, besides assisting along;

with the description in conveying some idea of the
appearance of the seal, is also useful in distinguishing
between different seals of similar design.

(5) Documents to which the seals are appended. All these

are noted, partly as showing the period over which the
use of the seal extended, and also as showing where
information may be obtained. The particulars of the
charters might have been usefully added, but would
materially have increased the size of the volume.
Notes of them, however, are preserved for use if
necessary.

INTRODUCTION xiii

(6) Reference to other works in which illustrations of the
seal are to be found.
Seals are not always used by the person for whom they
were made, but are not infrequently used by several genera-
tions of a family where the Christian name remained the same.
It also occasionally happened that though a person had a
seal of his own, it got mislaid, and if an ancestor's seal was
at hand, it was made use of. In such instances the granter
of the charter is mentioned, indicating that the seal is not
there used by its original owner. Further, it is not an
unknown thing for a wrong date to be found on a charter,
and thus it is not always conclusive evidence that a man
was alive at a particular date because a charter by him exists
with that date.

In reference to the descriptions of arms and readings of
legends, these, in not a few instances, are taken from very
imperfect impressions, and if better impressions are found it
may necessitate their modification.

It only remains for me to express my appreciation and warm
thanks for much kind assistance in my work, and for per-
mission to examine documents in their custody, to Matthew
Livingston, I.S.O., late Deputy-Keeper of the Records, to
J. Maitland Thomson, LL.D., and to the Rev. John Anderson
of the Historical Department of H.M. Register House; to
J. T. Clark of the Advocates' Library, to T. G. Law, LL.D.,
of the Signet Library, to the Authorities of the University

quaries (Scotland), to the Trustees of the late Sir William
Fraser, K.C.B., to Evan N. Burton-Mackenzie of Kilcoy,
to R. G. Erskine-Wemyss of Wemyss Castle, to the Rev.
Canon Greenwell of Durham Cathedral. I am under an
ecjual debt of gratitude to the Rev. A. T. Grant, to the Rev.
Angus Macdonald of Killearnan, to the Rev. Walter Macleod,
to the Rev. Henry Paton ; and to Messrs. Erskine Beveridge,

% : rfcartil : genegcallt . . ft . . Diam. l^ in. The design on
the seal represents a ship on the sea with one mast, from
the top of which flies a pennon charged with a St. George's
Cross. The sail is spread, and on it are represented the
strings for tying it up. Near the foot of the mast a man is
seated. At either end of the ship is a raised gallery, from
which rise poles with standards, that at the prow bearing
a St. George's Cross and that at the stern the above arms.
In style the seal is English rather than Scottish. The
arms are similar to those used by Robert, Duke of Albany,
but the owner of the seal is unknown. There is no Richard
Stewart in the index to Charters in the Register House, but
in Bain, iv., under date July 1493, occurs this entry:
* Richard Stewart tallough chaundeler London grants two
manors in Essex to Richard Stewart of Perydon and ap-
pends his seal,' — the date, however, seems rather late for
the style of work on this seal. Reg. Ho. detached seal,
