Springwood Park bookplates
1. Sir George Brisbane Douglas, fifth Baronet, was born in
1856. He became a member of our Club in 1876. More than
this I need not say. He uses a small bookplate consisting of
the Douglas and Scott crests — (1) a cubit arm erect
grasping a
broken tilting spear, all p.p.r., for Douglas. (2) A lion's
head
erased, holding in its mouth a thistle, for Scott. Over
both, on a
ribbon, the motto " doe or die." Beneath the crests, on an
escutcheon, the " Red Hand of Ulster," and below all, " Sir
George Douglas, Bt."
2. Hannah Charlotte, Lady Scott Douglas of Springwood
Park, used a quartered coat, with supporters, and ribbon
scrolls,
by Lizars. The blazon is I. and IV., Argent, a human heart
gules, imperially crowned or, on a chief azure three mullets
argent, the whole within a bordure nebuly of the fourth
(Douglas). II. and III., Or, on a bend azure an estoile
between
two crescents of the field ; in the centre chief a sword
erect
p.p.r., and on a canton argent ionr fleurs de lis (Scott).
On a
surtout the arms of Scott, without the canton, and in the
centre
chief the badge of Ulster. Supporters, on either side a
pegasus.
Lady Scott Douglas afterwards married William Scott Kerr of
Chatto and Sunlaws. |
