Thank you.
The Court of the Lord Lyon King of Arms (www.lyon-court.com), the government agency in charge of registering Scottish coats-of-arms, has (or still is) digitized it's Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland.
Known as the Lyon Register, this records all coats-of-arms authorized by the Lord Lyon since 1672, and contains a good deal of genealogical information on well-to-do Scottish families.
see “Scotland’s People” website.
