Note 2.—At a later date there is an instance of one of the Kers of theCessford branch bearing an azure shield. Robert Ker of Newbattle,afterwards second Earl of Lothian, when a student at Padua in Septem-ber 1598, used the following coat:— Azure, on a chevron argent between three mascles perforated of thefield in chief, and in base a unicorns head argent couped gules, threestars of six rays gules. Crest, A heart gules, pierced by three arrows argent, feathered azure. Supporters, Dexter, a warrior clothed in silver armoiir; Sinister, aunicorn proper. Judging from his crest, the young man appears to have been sufferingfrom an unfortunate love affair. (After he succeeded he bore the usualLothian coat and crest.). iHar anti IBiellit ERSKINE, EARL OF KELLIE
