Thomson Armorial

On 11th January the Thomson Armorial was added to the site. The artwork for the Arms listed in the two Volumes of the Scottish Ordinary were kindly supplied by John Gaylor.

Outstanding tasks include correcting various HTML code errors – the penalty of converting MS Word documents into a webpage – and looking into later recorded Scottish Arms and those recorded elsewhere.
