I'm Scots-Irish. I'm pretty sure my family crest is a moonshine still with two crossed shotguns. Our motto? "Shoot first, then have a drink!" Or something like that. It's historical! I've always loved heraldry. It's steeped in meaning and all those delicious things history lovers crave. But I also love the stories of those of us who don't have heraldry. Our shenanigans kept several kings tearing out their hair for centuries!

Most entertaining review of the year🎖

Zoe Dear,
I'm convinced your heraldry would be far more interesting and legit than most of those whose lustrous ancestry includes famous, kings, queens, and knights … blah-blah-blah!
And, I am quite sure I'd rather sit down to a meal, whisky, and fables shared with yours than all all the rest put together. 🍺💥🍺

Thanks for dropping-in … Slainte! ⁓ Richard🖌

This is rather cool, I am scot-Irish, I have a long family history and I have royalty in my family history.
Interesting piece here.

Thanks for looking-in, WG!

Scot-Irish, eh?
Zoe just below is, too.
It's amazing how many have royalty in their heraldry.

Keep smilin'! ⁓ Richard🖌

Thanks for the lesson in heraldry. I was not aware of the meanings behind the different figures on the coats of arms.

Thank you, John 🍃

For your enjoyable visit.
It was a pleasure sharing a wee bit of my simple family history.
Yes, the study of family heraldry can be quite interesting, indeed, even entertaining; but, searcher beware of stereotypical examples of coats-of-arms.
If, for instance, you Google your family name's coat-of-arms, you will discover a plethora of different designs, some common (as mine), and many more extremely flourished, flamboyant, and resplendently presented … though, quite appealing and pride inducing; which, I suppose, is the aim of those who sell heraldic plaques and "authentically" charted rolls.
Here is a very interesting site: https://www.theheraldrysociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Heraldry-For-Beginners.pdf

It can be a lot of fun seeing what's out there! ⁓ Richard🖌
