A new body, The Lord Lyon Society, has been established to promote Scottish heraldry, to tie in with the 350th anniversary of the creation of the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings (the records of which from 1672-1921 are available on ScotlandsPeople).
From the society's website:
The Society’s aim is to promote Scots heraldry, genealogy and the related arts, heritage and culture, and to continue to make the Court of the Lord Lyon relevant in our time.
For more information, visit https://lordlyonsociety.org.uk. You can join the society as a supporter, at £30 annually - further details on this are at https://lordlyonsociety.org.uk/join/.
