The Arms of Gavin
                                                  George Duncan of
                                                  Sketraw

Duncan is one of the oldest names in Scotland dating back to the early Celtic Scots infiltration of Scotland from Ireland c500AD and the creation of the Kingdom of Dalriada in South West Scotland.  One of the first early records of the name was King Dunchad (Duncan) mac Conaing who co-ruled Dalriada with Conall II (c650 – 654AD). Other early accounts of the name are Dunchad (Duncan) the 11th Abbot of Iona c707 – 717AD; King Duncan I (c1034 – 1040AD); Duncan II (1093- 1094AD) and Donnchad in the 11c. Celtic Book of Deer. 

The first known record of a Duncan armiger was Duncane, Hague Roll 1592. Argent, a chevron Sable between two stars Gules and a hunting-horn Sable, stringed Gules.

Gavin George Duncan of Sketraw uses the arms, as of right, that were granted to his father the late John Alexander Duncan of Sketraw (See entry No 0067)

Euan Michael Duncan is the second son of John A. Duncan of Sketraw and uses a crescent for differencing. (See entry No.0221)
