The
armiger holds the
Lordship of Cowal, a
Scottish feudal dignity,
described as the
Lordship of Cowal, in
the County of Argyll
being of the genus
barony; the armiger is
therefore referred to as
Lord of Cowal.
The
arms are those of the
registrant's father Godfrey Devlin, Baron of Gogar, debruised
of a three-point label
Gules per the guidance
provided by the Lyon
Clerk, as befitting an
heir and first son's use
and entitlement to a
father's arms. Being the
holder of a Scottish
Lordship in his own
right, the armiger uses
a helm befitting his
degree; that of a
Scottish baron.
Consistent with the
rules of Scottish
Heraldry the arms are
based on the earliest
grant of armorial
bearings registered in
the name of Devlin and
suitably differenced.
Illustratively, in this
instance a key
difference is the
introduction of a Chief
Or and the arrangement
and colour of mullets.
Further elements of
difference are in the
griffin segreant as
opposed to passant.
