 Bibliography of Scottish Heraldic Materials, The Heraldry Society of Scotland - UK Heraldry
The entry lists the blazon of the arms, the person to whom the arms are matriculated and the year of matriculation.
This brief passage includes the blazon, the identity of the owner as listed in the roll, and the identity as research has suggested.  This volume is included in the bibliography due to the inclusion of several plates that contain exclusively Scottish armory.  The roll is organized geographically, making the Scottish section relatively easy to locate.
Many of these articles are written in terms of legal rights and obligations, arising from the fact the Lord Lyon is a judicial officer of the Crown of Scotland, and from the fact that armorial ensigns in Scotland are a property right protected by the laws of Scotland.
