The armiger holds the
Lordship of Cowal, a Scottish feudal dignity, described as the
Lordship of Cowal, in the County of Argyll being of the genus
barony; the armiger is therefore referred to as Lord of Cowal.
The arms are those of
the registrant's father Godfrey Devlin, Baron of Gogar, debruised of
a three-point label Gules per the guidance provided by the Lyon Clerk, as befitting an
heir and
first son's use and entitlement to a father's arms. Being the holder of a Scottish
Lordship in his own right, the armiger uses a helm befitting his
degree; that of a Scottish baron.
Consistent with the rules of Scottish Heraldry the arms are based on
the earliest grant of armorial bearings registered in the name of
Devlin and suitably differenced. Illustratively, in this instance a
key difference is the introduction of a Chief Or and the arrangement
and colour of mullets. Further elements of difference are in the griffin segreant as opposed to passant. |
