Lord Lyon is one of 'The Great Officers of State'. He has just emerged from a complicated court case with various Scottish Barons, the ramifications of which are still being debated throughout the heraldic world. As part of the Royal household and Her Majesty's representative he cannot be seen to favour one district over another. I suppose he might have got away with a discrete sprig of 'clan plant' in his lapel - but not anything more than that.

Mores the pity.

The other thing is; he might not be a kilt wearer at all! There doesn't seem to be a Sellars tartan. The closest is Sellers for the Sillars family, but they aren't his family.

Regards

Chas
