MACALPIN aRMIGERS

 

The First MacAlpine Arms of Scotland

May 2003 - First Authentic Scottish "MacAlpine" Coat Of Arms Granted!

This  is the first Coat of Arms of the “MacAlpine” name ever granted by a  Lord Lyon King of Arms and recorded in Scotland's Lyon Register since  its inception in 1672. This grant of Arms represents a historic event  for the “MacAlpine” name and an important step on the path to  recognition of our family

In Scotland, a Coat of Arms (Arms)  belongs to an individual person rather than to every person who bears  that surname. Similar to a signature, Arms are a pictorial  representation of a particular individual's name. Arms are heritable  property and are passed down from generation to generation forever.  Individuals who hold title to Scottish Arms (Armigers) and certain  Scottish landowners are considered to be "Nobles" in the Lyon Court of  Scotland. A family in Scotland is defined, legally, as a "noble  community." To gain recognition of our family, we must have at least nine  "Nobles" (at least five of whom must be Armigers) to form a committee  called an "ad hoc Derbhfine." That committee selects one of its members  for consideration by the Lord Lyon King of Arms to become "Commander" of  the family. Upon Commission of a Commander, the family is officially  recognized. The following Arms represent the first of the minimum five  needed. Due to the traditions of Scottish heraldry, it is likely that  any "MacAlpine" Arms granted in the future will have a "shield" similar  to the shield in these Arms. Thus, we proudly present the first  authentic Scottish "MacAlpine" Coat of Arms.
