Heraldry - Baldastard


The Family of Lundy, Lundie, Lundin of Baldastard, descend from the family of Lundin of that Ilk Lundy, through one of the son's of Walter Lundie of that Ilk.

They bear the ancient arms of Lundy, quartered with the new arms:

"John Lundin of Baldester, who's great grandfather was a lawful brother of the ancient family of Lundin, assumed the new coat of Lundie, and quartered it with the old arms of Lundie, thus recorded in the Lyon Register, quarterly, first and fourth the arms of Scotland within a bordure gorbonated, argent and azure, as being the arms granted by King Charles II. to the family of Lundin; and specially adapted to their descent form Robert of Lundin, natural son to William the Lion King of Scotland, and brother to King Alexander II. The second and third quarters are, paly of six, argent and gules, on a bend azure, three cushions of the first, as the coat formerly used and borne by those of the name, and all within a bordure azure; crest, a dexter hand open, and charged in the palm with an eye, all natural: motto, Certior dum cerno; so recorded in the Lyon register, 14th January 1698."
