Garioch kept in the family.

I spent Friday evening and the best part of Saturday in Edinburgh enjoying the very good company of fellow members of The Heraldry Society of Scotland and during conversation over dinner on the Friday evening learned that The Countess of Mar has appointed Hugh de Laurier as the new Garioch pursuivant. Mr. de Laurier is the nephew of the late David Gordon Allen d’Aldecamb Lumsden of Cushnie, SMOM, MA, FSA Scot. who died whilst still in office on the 29th August 2008.
