Hay Armorial Bearings

 

AY, Earl of Errol Argent, three escutcheons, Gules.

HAY, Earl of Errol
Argent, three escutcheons, Gules.

On 6 May 1865, the Lord Lyon granted arms to Charles Hay, a banker residing in Edinburgh's New Town. These arms feature the three red shields which are a ubiquitous feature of Hay arms (compare these with the undifferenced arms quartered into the Seton recording featured in this album a few weeks ago). The blue border and star have been added for difference, as Charles had demonstrated he was the representer of a particular cadet branch of the Hays from the 16th century. The blazon is: Argent, three inescutcheons Gules, in the centre a mullet Azure for difference, all within a bordure of the Last, and, for crest, a goat's head Argent horned Or charged on the neck with a mullet Azure.
