The
armiger is a member of
The Heraldry Society of
Scotland and as such the
symbolism associated
with the heraldic
achievement is
important. Key aspects
of the arms which have
personal importance
include:
Tinctures, Azure and Or
represent his old school
colours and are the
favourites of the
family.
Motto, 'Adapt to
Succeed’ exemplifies the
need to be flexible and
adaptable in an ever
changing environment to
achieve one’s
aspirations.
Helm, befitting the
armiger's degree of
Baron.
Crest, the Griffin,
perhaps the greatest of
mythological creatures,
represents the qualities
of bravery, courage and
leadership to the
armiger.
Charges, the main charge
is a Celtic cross.
Historically this is
seen to represent the
Ardboe High Cross in
County Tyrone the
heartland of the Devlin
sept. This
reinforces his family's
Celtic origins.
The
armiger's heir apparent:
James
R.G. Devlin, Lord of
Cowal No.0484
