The business will be followed by a guest speaker.  From the Court of the Lord Lyon we welcome Sheriff George Way of Plean CStJ FRSA, His Majesty’s Rothesay Herald of Arms.

Sheriff Way has given us a title and short description of his talk, which features the green Dragons of Dundee's coat of arms - what are they, why green, and how do they relate to the history of Dundee?

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better

An analysis of the symbolism of the coat of arms of the City of Dundee with particular reference to the heraldic beasts that support the shield.  An extrapolation from this to a more general discussion on the role and significance of heraldic supporters.
