The
design takes elements
from various portions of
the armiger’s
background. The colours
in the designs hark back
to the various Boyd
family Arms in Scotland,
particularly Kilmarnock.
The greyhounds reflect
the armiger’s patron
saint, Dominic de
Guzmán, and the Hounds
of God. The three
Crosses Pattee represent
his vows made at
baptism, ordained as a
presbyter and
Benedictine oblate, and
when he was conferred
the dignity of Chevalier
by the Ordo Supremus
Militaris Templi
Hierosolymitani
(Sovereign Military
Order of the Temple of
Jerusalem) under the
Royal Patron, Her
Highness Princess
Elisabeth of Ysenburg
and Büdingen, Princess
of
Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
The Geneva bonnet with
two black tassels in
lieu of a helm and crest
is traditional
ecclesiastical heraldry
for Presbyterian
ministers.
