Interest in Scots heraldry is at an all-time peak. Balfour Paul's Ordinary of Arms (1903 edition) had some 5,500 entries covering the 230 years from 1672 to 1902. Reid and Wilson's Ordinary Volume II added another 6,000, representing 72 years up to 1973. Now, after not much more than a quarter of a Century, there are almost another 5,000. That just refers to Arms actually granted. In addition there is considerable personal fascination with the field of Heraldry, and especially Scottish Heraldry, not least in the many corners of the globe where Scots are to be found. In 2022 the Lyon Court celebrated the 350th Anniversary of the establishment of the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland. As Lord Lyon Dr Joseph J Morrow says in his Foreword to this Volume III: "This is a milestone publication in a milestone year for Scots heraldry".
