Lions of Scotland: (Lords of Hume Castle

Product Information

The lion rampant is still used to this day, but officially it can only be flown at royal residences such as Holyrood Palace and Balmoral Castle, and only then when the Queen isn’t in residence. At times when the Queen is present, the Lion Rampant is replaced by the Royal Standard (a flag that represents the Sovereign and the United Kingdom). The Royal Standard From the accession of the Stuart dynasty to the throne of the Kingdom of Ireland in 1603, the Royal Arms have featured the harp, or Cláirseach, of Ireland in the third quadrant, the style of the harp itself having been altered several times since. The position of King of Ireland ceased with the passage by the Oireachtas of the Republic of Ireland Act 1948, when the office of President of Ireland (which had been created in late 1937) replaced that of the King of Ireland for external as well as internal affairs. The Act declared that the Irish state could be described as a republic, following which the newly created Republic of Ireland left the British Commonwealth. However, the modern versions of the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland used both in Scotland and elsewhere, and also the arms of Canada, continue to feature an Irish harp to represent Northern Ireland. So how do you prepare properly for a “tour” to an unknown location that might turn out to be your own home town? The safari outings will need some tweaking: you don’t see many cheetahs in Caerphilly or hyenas in Harrogate.

The office of Lord Lyon predates the year 1399, but with Henry Greve recorded as the first holder during the reign of Robert III. Greve was recorded in an English Issue Rolls as "King of Scottish Heralds", and that he was at the Tower of London in 1399, either at or immediately after the coronation of Henry IV.

While the blue and white Saltire flag has ties to religion, martyrdom, and St. Andrew, the yellow and red Lion Rampant flag is intrinsically linked to Scottish royalty. Lion Rampant Crest, Edinburgh Castle There are, in fact, two theories that describe how Scotland’s flag came into existence, both of which involve Scotland’s patron saint, St. Andrew.
