Armigerous Clans Non armigerous clans As I understand it there is no such thing as an armigerous clan Lord Lyon s website makes this point clear There is a widespread misconception that a family or a clan can have a family or clan Coat of Arms Many heraldic and clan web sites and other media suggest that a person has the right to use the family or clan Arms This is completely incorrect accessed 8 June 2014 So much of this page should be altered to remove this idea I note in particular that the Clan Gunn has never had a Chief recognised by Lord Lyon so to state as this page does that it is an armigerous clan is totally incorrect
