However, this is not hereditary; the 17th Duke did not become a Knight of the Garter until 22 April 1983.

It is a modification of the [[Royal coat of arms of Scotland]]. Instead of its normal rampant position, the lion is shown cut in half with an arrow through its mouth, commemorating the death of [[James IV of Scotland|King James IV]] at the battle.<ref>{{cite book |last=Brooke-Little |first=J.P., FSA |author-link=John Brooke-Little |title=Boutell's Heraldry |orig-year=1950 |edition=Revised |year=1978 |publisher=Frederick Warne LTD |location=London |isbn= 0-7232-2096-4 |page=125}}</ref>
