    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 families.
    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 armorial, coat of arms, 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.
