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 june 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
