The first and fourth quarters of their Arms bore a sceptre and sword in saltire (here represented by the cross), with an imperial crown in chief, all within an orle of eight thistles of the second, as a Coat of Augmentation for preserving the Regalia of the Kingdom from the hands of Cromwell. This episode in the history of the Scottish Regalia is as follows. After the battle of Dunbar the Regalia had been placed in Dunnottar Castle, which was besieged by the English to endeavour to obtain posse...ssion of these symbols of Scottish sovereignty. As the garrison was running short of provisions the Governor, George Ogilvy of Barras, formed a plan along with Mr Granger, minister of Kinneff, to secure the safety of the Regalia. A report was first spread that these treasures had been taken abroad by Sir John Keith. The minister's wife then obtained permission from the English general to take out of the castle some bundles of lint. She con- cealed the Regalia among the lint, and boldly carried them unsuspected through the English camp.
