Heraldry and titles
There is no such thing as a family crest. A crest is part of a coat of arms and they are awarded to an individual and, as a general rule, pass to his oldest son only.

For rules on wearing crests, see here>>>

Heraldry and titles are not really the subject of this page but we recommend these sites:

The Kirriemuir coat of arms is based on that of Douglas
