The team of heraldic artists in the Court of the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh write and paint original Letters Patents and Matriculations of Arms on calfskin vellum documents as granted by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. Other items of artwork in colour or in black-and-white may be commissioned for presentation scrolls or for personal gifts. For other heraldic works see my page on the official website for the Court of the Lord Lyon, HM New Register House, Edinburgh EH1 3YT.
Do please contact me by leaving a message or alternatively, email me at this address - HeraldPainter.scotland@gmail.com.
As well as my heraldic work, I also design and handpaint illuminated initial letters in colour or in 23c gold or in Palladium leaf, with flowers/fruits/heraldic animals. I am happy to paint single letters with floral or heraldic decoration for a Special Birthday gift or double letters given to celebrate a special Wedding Anniversary or Birthday. Double letters can have the same decoration for both initials or it can different for each, where possible. Do please get in touch if you interested in commissioning single or double illuminated letters and have a look at the examples on my pages for some I have done before..
Printed heraldic animal cards can be purchased in assorted packs of three or in a full pack of ten. Individual cards may also be bought but none of the images may be reproduced by the buyer as the copyright lands with me.
if you are interested in purchasing any of my printed greetings cards it is better to do so via my online shops on Etsy.com ; Folksy.com or via my shop on the Shop Scotland website.
