Lord Lyon Honoured

The Lord Lyon, Dr Joseph Morrow QC, as President of the Mental Health Tribunal, was invested at the Palace of Holyroodhouse today as a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty the Queen for services to Mental Health Law in Scotland.
 

 Also honoured today by Her Majesty the Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse was Very Reverend Iain Torrance, TD DD FRSE, pro-Chancellor University of Aberdeen, who was created Knight Bachelor for services to Higher Education and Theology. He is also Dean of the Chapel Royal and Dean of the Thistle.
 

Both these wonderful paintings incidentally are the work of the Herald Painter, Yvonne Holton, Dingwall Pursuivant.
