After four years, the Court of the Lord Lyon has given Donald Trump permission to use a coat of arms that he has had designed for his new golf resort in Aberdeenshire.
Don't get me started! I guess everything comes to he who waits...
The Deadline website has the story at www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2012/01/17/donald-trump-at-last-awarded-the-scottish-coat-of-arms/, whilst the Mail has a tasteful take on it at www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2087966/Donald-Trump-wins-right-use-family-crest-advertise-golf-course-battling-ancient-Scottish-law.html
Apologies for that, I'm off to look for some real news now...!
UPDATE: Thankfully it looks like the Lyon Office did not sanction the arms designed by Trump's team, but instead denied him permission to use them - as they should have done - before coming up with a replacement. The Daily Record has more on this at www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2012/01/18/donald-trump-comes-up-with-official-coat-of-arms-to-go-with-750m-golf-resort-86908-23705556/. The suggestion that any Tom, Dick or Harry could just bypass Scots Law on this would have been quite a hard pill to swallow!
