Lyon addresses the Scottish Provosts' Association

At the City Chambers of Dundee on the 26th September the Lord Lyon addressed the AGM of the Scottish Provosts' Association on the topic of “Scottish Civic Heraldry and its Economic Development Usage. “ There was a lively question and answer session after the talk.

The arms of Dundee were recorded in 1932 and are blazoned:
Azure a pot of three growing lilies Argent.

Curiously, the artist in the Register omitted to paint the dragons' wings displayed and actually painted FOUR lilies. Lyon Clerk has noted on the entry that in future the painting must follow the blazon.


Here is said note:
