The SAHC wishes our Members and Friends worldwide a Very Happy New Year / Hogmanay

@Caledonia_Aus Wishing you a Happy Hogmanay /New Year, Ben

#hogmanay in 19th century Australia: “In Scotland the associations of the day are snow and frost, long nights and blazing fires. In Australia they are heat and dust ... a feeling as if your corporeal substance were reduced to the consistency of butter!” thescottishaustralian.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/hog…

@arm_yourselves These are great examples. Please advise who/what has the Australian CoA.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Many people consider heraldry to be a European-centric art form, but this isn't true! Heraldry, like all great art, adapts to the cultures that use it, and now often features motifs from indigenous peoples of Africa, Australia, and the Americas.

The Lord Lyon has appointed Liam Devlin Esq,, formerly Unicorn Pursuivant, to be Rothesay Herald of Arms in Ordinary. The Office of Rothesay Herald dates from the reign of King Robert III (1390-1406).

From Monday 2 August, fully vaccinated travellers from the EU and US will no longer need to self-isolate for 10 days after arriving into Scotland. This will only apply to travellers coming from amber list countries. Learn about the additional changes ➡️ bit.ly/TravelChanges2…

@LyonCourt Happy Birthday Elizabeth from the SAHC

Her many friends will wish to join us in congratulating the first lady of heraldry, Elizabeth Roads LVO, Snawdoun Herald, on her birthday today and thank her most warmly for her long and distinguished service to Scottish heraldry. Many happy returns of the day, Elizabeth!
