1505 William of Dunachton, afterwards 13th chief -quarterly, 1 three boars’ heads erased; 2 lion passant; 3 lymphad; 4 pine-branch (?) in bend (plate I fig. 2). These arms are on William’s seal attached to his “backbond” of 1505 concerning the Lochaber lands (p.97, ante). The three boars’ heads may perhaps be regarded as “arms of patronage”, being the arms of the Earl of Huntly, from whom William held Dunachton, Gellovie, and other lands.
