Official arms of the Strone Branch of Mackintosh

Strone Branch - James Mackintosh

The seal of James “mac Donald Glas” is appended to his letters of reversion of the Badenoch lands dated 15 June 1568 and to the deed of 15 Aug. following (p.150, ante). It bears quarterly, 1 a lion passant; 2 a dexter hand in pale; 3 three fraises or cinquefoils; 4 a lymphad (Plate II fig. 5). It will be observed that his lion, like the lion of his grandfather (13th chief) in 1505, is passant, and that both it and the lymphad occupy positions exactly the reverse of those in that ancestor’s shield, probably in indication of his illegitimate descent.
