Notes: 1. This crest is also of St John Blacker-Douglas of Elm Park - needs checking? And probably Thomas Dunlop Douglas (see stained glass window). 2. This crest (a raven?) is linked with the motto 'Sursum', a motto used by the Pringle family. Or is it a martlet/swallow - the sign of a 4th son? 3. I have included the Keith, Lockhart and Pringle crests (below) because of their similarity with the Douglas crests, and close relationships between the familes. 4. I assume he has three crests because he held three titles. 5. See The peacock 6. Blanks appear when I re-position the images - not from deletions. It is all work in progress. 7. The terms crest, heraldic shield and crest have been used loosely and often incorrectly. I will work towards getting them right! 8. Help identifying 'Unknown' arms would be welcome.
