This
Armorial Achievement was
granted to Mark Paul
Lindley-Highfield of
Ballumbie Castle by
initial Warrant and
subsequent Letters
Patent of the Lord Lyon
King of Arms.
The chief (top half) of
the shield represents
the armiger's ownership
of Ballumbie Castle in
Angus. The fess chequy
is an allusion to the
family's former
possession of the barony
of Cartsburn, which
anciently was held of
the Prince and Great
Steward of Scotland as
Baron of Renfrew. The
base of the shield
contains a Yorkshire
rose, representing the
armiger's connection
with the county through
his paternal
grandmother, Phyllis
Jenkinson, originally of
Swinton, Yorkshire. The
colours of the Arms are
symbolic of the thistle,
indicative of the
armiger's love of
Scotland, which is also
alluded to in the
colours of the castle,
based on those of the
Saltire, the national
flag.
The motto, Fortiores
Coniuncti, translates as
'Together Stronger',
which is a contraction
of another family motto,
"As long as we are
together, the rest will
fall into place".
