Originally
a church property the
Barony was re-erected
separating it from the
Barony of Auchintoull,
by Charles II in a
charter of novodamus
under the Great Seal
dated 24 August 1663.
Located mid-way between
Huntly and Banff, the
original Barony of
Yeochrie was bordered by
Aberchirder to the South
West, Yeochrie House,
and Kinnardy Castle
overlooking the Deveron
River to the South East,
Auchintoll House to the
North East and Cornehill
Crofts to the West.
The armiger was asked,
by the then Lord Lyon,
if he would like a
design based upon the
arms of Jacob, Jacob R
(James II) or the Stuart
of Bute ancient sept of
Jacobi now rendered
Jamieson (see Blacks
Surnames of Scotland) or
if he wished to submit
an heraldic design based
upon personal
achievements; he elected
to devise arms based
upon a combination of
ancient arms, family
records and person
achievements.
The Cross represents a
Ph.D. degree in
Comparative Religion
with Ministerial
Certificate to the
Chaplain Corp of the
U.S. Military and
Academic Life Teaching
Credential. The Wings to
signify Command Pilot
(ATPL) for U.S. licensed
International Airlines
and the U.S. Department
of Defence. The Scales
of Justice represent an
LL.B (Law degree) with
CREB land conveyance
licensing and
Professional Bar
Association membership.
The pelican in her piety
crest was taken from the
ancient arms of Stuart,
Moffat and Jacobi of
Ecolm. The pelican was
ducally gorged to show
emanate reverence to the
patron saint of the
Stewarts, Sancti Jacobi
(St. James).
