Arms of the English and Scottish nobility. A collection of painted arms with genealogical notes on their holders, made by an Englishman.
The collection includes the creations of 1605, but not those of 1618.
The section on English heraldry (folio 1) contains the arms of the various rulers and their nobles from William I to James I. The Scottish section (folio 104) contains the arms of the queens of Scotland from St Margaret to Anne of Denmark, followed by those of the nobility.
Collection of English arms in trick, probably compiled as a working notebook by herald painters in London, one of whom appears to have worked with Sir Henry Saint George, Garter King of Arms.
Copy, circa 1702, with additions to 1703, of `Collections of the most remarkable accounts that relate to the families of Scotland drawn from ther own charters and other authentick writts ... with ane account of ther armes’, probably made in 1672, attributed to Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh.
The original compilation was probably made in 1672 (see Adv.MSS.32.6.1, folio 154 and 34.3.14, folio 42) and is attributed to Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh. However, an 18th-century footnote added to the title page of Adv.MS.34.3.19 states that the collection was originally compiled by Sir Patrick Lyon of Carse, and that his manuscript was copied by Mackenzie and others who made their own additions to it.
