colquhoun / calhoun arms?

[MacLowlife]

Thanks, all.

I appreciate your advice, but I am not going to dictate matters of taste to a bride. I will, however, caution her not to invite any of you who might be offended, or at least to send you an invitation without the misappropriated arms. Meanwhile, I might just contact the Baronet on her behalf.

As I am sure you know, the arms consist of a saltire on a plain (white) field. When blind embossed without supporters, motto or crest, the shield is pretty generic. I would be surprised if even the heraldic police would recognize or take offense at an X on a shield. In addition to the Baronet, that same X could represent Scotland, St Andrew, various other saints, XMarks (it shows up as the XMarks icon) , or the letters M and V in International Code Flags.

In one of those lovely ironies, I have learned that there is a family name Saltire, but their arms ( or those of whichever armigerous Saltire presently holds them) apparently do not include the X.
