Sir Malcolm Innes of Edingight KCVO WS Modernising Lord Lyon Who
The following Obituary of Sir Malcolm by Gordon Casely FHSS was published on Saturday 26th September by "The Times", to which copyright belongs. Sir Malcolm Innes of Edingight KCVO WS Modernising Lord Lyon who brought Scots heraldry into the 21st century When an East of Scotland coach owner decorated his bus fleet with the logo of a lion rampant on a gold shield, the reality that he had unwittingly usurped the coat- of-arms of the Earl of Wemyss and March escaped him. But the long arm of Scots heraldic law caught up with him, and when he demurred over removing the logo, he was politely informed that he faced the prospect of £100 a day in fines and plus the legal defacing of his coaches. He had the devices speedily replaced, though he was less than enamoured of the Lyon Court and its officials. ''As far as I am concerned, they are a load of pompous twits that want to give everybody a hard time for no reason'. Swift actions such as this by Lord Lyon Sir Malcolm Innes of Edingight have maintained the position of Scots heraldry as the purest and finest in the world, and a matrix for others to copy. He took immediate action when the first British Airways flight into Edinburgh boasted a new coat-of-arms on the tail. He firmly pointed out that BA was were using arms not legally recognised in Scotland. BA swiftly matriculated their arms to conform with Scots law. For all the clichés surrounding “the Lyon in his den”, Sir Malcolm was very much a modernist. -

Charles J. Burnett, Dingwall Pursuivant of Arms. During The
THE COURT OF THE LORD LYON Charles J. Burnett, Dingwall Pursuivant of Arms. During the twelfth century the introduction of personal marks as a means of identification both on the battlefield and in the lay world where illiteracy was almost universal led to a situation where certain individuals specialised in recording the marks used so that they became familiar with them and their owners. It so happened 'these individuals already had an occupation which enabled them to become familiar with this new system of identification. They were the heralds, messengers who moved betw-n opposing armies and nations conveying diplomatic or political infonation. This function had arisen from their duties during the 12th century which were to super- vise tournaments. They had to declare champions and recognise individual combatants by their marks. Because of their involvement with this new science it became identified with them and eventually named heraldry after them. The herald's knowledge of the science made him the obvious person to consult if new arms were required and gradually his role developed as a court official who in the Sovereign's name, issued new arms and pronounced judgement on who was entitled to specific coats of arms. During the early mediaeval period in Scotland, the Celtic Royal Court continued the old practice of having spoken rather than written records. An important court official was the High Sennachie who carried all the genealogical information of the Royal House in his head. At each coronation he would recite the family history of the new sovereign. Once the practice of inheritance was established with individual marks, they then automatically became of interest to all involved with genealogy. -
