I wonder about the COA labelled 'Greece', to me it looks more like the Saltire, the flag of Scotland, reputedly the second oldest European flag (after Denmark). The saltire would seem more likely in this context, but who knows ?Heimdal 19:33, 28 January 2007 (GMT)

Heimdal, you are absolutely right, but that's only one of the mysteries of the official description, most of it based in the "comments on them from the Lord Lyon King of Arms" as the official brochure has it. Other problems are obviously based in "artist impressions". But it is as funny to see the small shield with the red cross referred to as "Milan or Padua or Genoa" as is the red cross with black borderline set to the cross on the bigger shield. The small one is definetly England, the big one is Genoa. I will add comments on all of them and probably show "new arrangement" which will make more sence. ;-) Please wait a couple of days ;-) Islandhopper 01:51, 29 January 2007 (GMT)

Heimdal, now we have something to discuss ... ;-) se article Islandhopper 12:34, 29 January 2007 (GMT)

Bishop Tulloch's coat of arms

Bishop William Tulloch's coat of arms is described here:

about half way down. The description matches the image shown here, so I think you can confidently assume this is his. AndrewRT 16:37, 13 April 2012 (MDT)
