    My Territorial Designation 'of Sketraw' is recognised by the Lord Lyon and yes I own the lands 'of Sketraw'.

    A good article on Territorial Designations written By Stuart Morris of Balgonie and Eddergoll, yr. Can be found by Clicking Here and will tell you about this particular type of Scottish Title.

    It was Brian Wilton who designed my Tartan and I had to show proof of my right to the Territorial Designation before he would record it as Duncan of Sketraw.
