Islay Herald
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islay Herald of Arms in Ordinary was a Scottish officer of arms prior to 1867. The office was first mentioned in 1493. Islay is an island off the west coast of Scotland and was the headquarters of the Lord of the Isles. When the influence of that powerful noble was broken by the King of Scots during the fifteenth century, several names associated with the Lord of the Isles were absorbed and used by the crown. The post was last held by Don Pottinger from 1981 until 1986.
