The
armiger employs
his heraldry
wherever
possible, with
current usage
including
letterheads,
business cards,
cufflinks,
bonnet badges,
sgian dubh, pipe
banner, signet
ring, kilt pins,
china, coasters,
glassware,
T-shirts, belt
buckle, beer
bottles and
glasses, rubber
stamp and
bookplates, as
well as
electronically,
such as an email
signature.

The
arms are
destined to the
armiger's
grandfather
Frederick Thomas
Charles Casely,
thus enabling
his later father
Frederick Beskow
Casely the use
of them in his
lifetime, a use
now continued by
the armiger's
son,
daughter-in-law,
two
granddaughters
and two
grandsons.
Simplicity being
an over-riding
theme, only two
colours are
employed, Azure
and Or, with the
colours and
charges on the
shield (parted
per chevron)
inclining
towards the
abstract rather
than place of
abode,
occupation or
personal whimsy.
The crest is
from an early
symbol of
Polson, the
armiger's
mother's name,
with the
fleur-de-lys in
remembrance of a
late friend,
Fenton Wymess
KStJ through his
crest (a
fleur-de-lys Or
charged with a
pellet Sable).

The
motto LEAL (Scots
for true-hearted,
or true to the
mark) was chosen
for simplicity. It
turns out to have
been the shortest
motto recorded in
the 20th century,
and the shortest
motto in Scots of
all time.
The armiger is a
Knight of Justice
of the Most
Venerable Order of
St John of
Jerusalem; and
Baron Baillie of
Miltonhaven and
Keeper of the
Fortalice of
Lauriston, private
honours remembered
in the symbols of
office placed
behind the shield. |
